I find that all of these issues about software are quite 
comical.........except to the folks that write the code and those that 
de-bug the code and those under pressure to get it released.

I found one comment specially interesting and it was "you identify ALL of 
the bugs and I'll tell you WHEN they will be fixed".  Professionally, in a 
15 year span of time, I've never seen or used a package of code that didn't 
have bugs.  Therefore, one must accept that fact that all software likely 
has or will have bugs and they'll never be all fixed.  It boils down to a 
fact of time vs. return on investment.  Somewhere along the timeline someone 
or some group must determine when the orange is ripe, pick it and send it to 
the market.  The time it takes to get to the market will determine if it is 
green or over ripe or perhaps simply rotten.

Welcome to the world of SDR's (and other devices too), get used to the fact 
that there will be software issues.  Some more, some less.  Accept the fact 
that you must respectfully deal with them.  Otherwise, one simply goes nuts.
