Chris,
I can certainly understand your frustrations. In my GIMP work, I've had a
heck of a time with some hanging problems which I've reported to you. I
report them to you and DJ not because I *expect* you to jump and fix them,
but because I am clueless on how to fix them myself. I *have* downloaded
the source code and *have* attempted to understand the infrastructure
enough to solve the problems. In my case at least, if there were more
documentation on the internals of the winsup code, I might be able to solve
some problems on my own. Unfortunately, I think with the exception of a
few people (you, DJ, Sergey, etc) most do not have a good enough
understanding of the internals of winsup to really be able to help out. On
the other hand, I try not to complain about things either.
Anyway, just another person's perspective.
