Gee, thanks.  Very helpful.  Can you at least type the commands in and
verify the problem for me before you get snippy?  I said "zero
knowlege" in an attempt to be modest*, but if you really want to get
into a tussle about developer credentials, I'm happy to oblige.

* I mean, come on: it's a 20 line program that shows a 15x performance
  regression in a real-life, non-trivial application
  (http://www.flightgear.org), takes all of 5 commands to verify that
  can be copied right out of the source code, and even comes with a
  (IMHO) pretty insightful guess as to where the problem might lie.
  Most developers have erotic fantasies about this kind of bug report.

Andy
