The point isn't strfry() et al. It's that Ulrich's behaviour towards
someone trying to fix a bug in that exemplifies his behaviour towards
*anyone* trying to contribute *anything*, except if he's known them a long
time (and sometimes not even then).

I could dig up dozens of examples but it's too depressing and it's a bank
holiday here and I have two flashy new Nehalems to bring up (die, old
ten-year-outdated PIIIs! ... only thing is I'm not sure 36Gb RAM in the
two combined will be enough ;} )
