The point is I think the severity is wrong and people should be considerate when they file RC bugs especially when multiple people came to a different conclusion. That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate your QA work, I greatly do but this specific bug is not a real problem and rather artificial. The game builds in all but the most unlikely build environments from source, official buildd are not affected and I can build Oolite in a clean cowbuilder environment too. Hence I find it difficult to see a Policy violation here. Cheers, Markus
