Patch Question

mking55 · 11-05-2003, 01:15 PM

It was announced by Steve one week ago on October 29th that the patch was being tested.

I can never recall a patch that fixes something broken ever taking this long to deliver.

Is the problem the elusiveness of the bug so that much time is spent trying to find it? Or is it a lack of participation by the testers to actually test and approve the patch?

Just curious as this is very strange based on the past track record of bug fixes.

My guess is that an extra effort is being made to ensure that issues have been adequately resolved.
