I think you should give the people at Greenleaf a break. Expecting them
to fall over dead when a minor bug is found in their code is unreasonable.
All significant software has bugs. Normal practice for a company is to
wait until a sufficient number of bugs have been found to warrant
issuing an update. If a company released revised versions of their software
every time a bug was reported, and worked overtime to release it as soon
as possible, they would go out of business.
