Too bad the issue couldn't be nailed down, bugged, and fixed, but sometimes that happens. It's frustrating in a way, particularly for those of us who like to think of the computer as a deterministic black box, put certain inputs in and you get certain outputs out, as the bug hasn't been fixed, but the deterministic computer is theory not always reality, and knowing that, it's livable frustration, particularly when it's relieving in another, because one got past it.
