[flame warning!] The only time I ever tried to submit an SPR, it was bounced back to me with the semantic equivalent of "Duh?" as the official response. I submitted it three more times with ever-increasing amounts of description and cross-references to the fiche, and details about what was necessary to repair the problem. I received back three more "Duh"'s, and never did succeed at penetrating through to a wizard. Posting problems to Info-Vax at least has the advantage that *someone* reasonably expert will get to hear about them.
