	I know that. And I plan to do so as soon as I have more free time (in fact I 
have few bugs that I want to report but need to do some additional 
research/regression testing first)  - currently I'm overloaded with work. 
However, after a week or two I probably will find some free time to report 
all bugs that I found so far (and also retest all my most important programs 
with recent Wine and do regression test(s) if necessary).
