After working together with this project for a long time. I understand why they call them "bugs". For every cockroach you see there are five you don't. If you find a bug in 3.1.1, post it, it might still be in 4.1.

The reason is bugs are like this is it can sometimes require a lot of things to happen before a bug will trigger a symptom in a program. The symptom not revealed is not discovered by testing and once discovered it might be hard to reproduce. Only with code inspection can you really flush out lots of bugs. You can only inspect routines if you know what they are supposed to do. When routines are commented you can check the implementation against specification and if you are really careful you can find the bugs.
