No - the DLL developers need fewer examples, just *ONE* Simple Test Case, boiled 
down to the essentials, with notes on preconditions, if you can not recreate the 
required conditions in a program or script.

Alternatively, Cygwin strace output with notes from a failing program, or a gdb 
script and log of the failing code with enough calling context and notes.

Please read the problem reporting guidelines linked at the bottom of all posts 
and follow them.
