If "we" collectively as a project want to fix it then someone will have
to do that.

I suspect the Ångström maintainers may appreciate some help in
narrowing it down and fixing it since I doubt they have any more
copious free time to solve all the bugs coming than I do.

I suspect they can nod, say yes, it is broken, they'd love to see it
fixed and would love patches.
