I'm sorry then, I got this impression after our conversation.

That is what is commonly referred to as "joke", not "accusation". I didn't
expect your to react like that. I do not put too much smileys, verbum sat
sapienti est. And to be explicit about schizophrenia, no, you don't have much
to do with it, it's my virtue.

What corner are you talking about, I just explain why I mentioned OZ. And yes,
I see now you didn't really want to know. And my assumption that you were just
personally offended with the word "INVALID" turns out to be correct. I know you
hate reiterations, but should I apologize once more? And, btw, I would be much
more considerate if that wasn't you, but an average reporter. I was counting on
more understanding on your part.

And from now on I will not say a single word regarding our dispute. So, if you
want to accuse me of incompetence, evil intentions, insanity, whatnot, do it
now - I will humbly listen and won't retort.

Local filesystem from handheld point of view, of course. CF card counts. I just
want to make sure that only Z is involved.

Do you know which way it _is_ reproducible now?

Definitely, no hurry.

And no need to raise the priority unless you want it resolved. As I haven't
experienced the problem, I do not treat is as a priority task.

Quite an achievement ;-)

So, let's first see if it's terminal. Try putting your favorite Japanese
pangram
("いろはにほへと　ちりぬるを　わかよたれそ　つねならむ　うゐのおくやま　けふこえて　あさきゆめみし　ゑひもせす"
or whatever) into .txt file and cat it.
