The former.  The bug reports date back to March, after the first
development snapshot was made available to member licensees, and when
the software wasn't even claimed to be complete.

Plus there's the usual crop of programmer errors, documentation
errors, enhancement requests and duplicates.

(all this is proprietary information of course, but I don't think
anyone would find it surprising).

I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours, Richard :-)  There's only
one that I'd consider a real show-stopper (I can hear licensees all
over the world disagreeing right now).
