Dear Chris,

I congratulate you on finding this, and I appreciate you telling me.

I had no idea what the problem might have been, but since
you've taken the time to tell us, we will keep this in mind
for the future if other people have the same problem.
You've done us a great service.

I apologise for not replying to you.  I have been extremely busy
at work.  Nevertheless I did pass your mail onto the person who
is coordinating the bug fixing.  We had no idea what the problem
may be, but we certainly were prepared to act on it.

Since this software is given away free, it makes HP no money.
So it's very hard to get HP to put engineers onto the job of
really polishing it.  That's one of the reasons we made it
Open Source.

Because the source code is available, you are more than welcome
to take it and change it (or help us change it) so it handles this
problem better.  If you want better software, the key is in
your hand.

Regards,

Mitch.
