I do not think this is a wast of time. *Finally* getting good debug information from
problems I once had (remember the little lockup reports I've posted). Yeah, no one
seemed
to understand why too. So, if this delays 0.2.6, I do not care. I just know when it does
make *tha cut* I will be very happy to have Reactos stable enough to soon become 0.3.0
alpha.


Oh, don't get me started on emulators, I found these little problems on real
hardware.
