  Since nobody else is reporting this problem, it seems pretty unlikely that
anyone else is going to be able to do it for you.

  Sounds like your best bet is to sit there and do nothing.  Yep, that's it.
Thats's *bound* to get the bug fixed.  Why, surely sooner or later someone
else will have the same bug and fix it for you?  All you have to do is just
sit there and wait.  If you get bored watching the tumbleweed roll past, you
could always read

to pass the time.
