Alrighty then. To be honest I'm not entirely certain how to do that. As is,
what info to collect and to what project would I submit said info!?  Sorry.
I have little experience in submitting bugs but I'd like to contribute what
I can...Sure someone will encounter this that could use the reference.
Obviously I wouldn't mind having the fix myself as well ;)

Thanks
Phil
