[Rodney Dunn]

Sorry...too many emails going out at once.

Clarification.

We do try to make public any bug that goes out in shipping code.

...

The idea is that all the bugs we find *and fix before the code is 
shipped* should not show up on the outside as it would just dilute the 
ones that do make it out in our code that is run in the field.
