And while a newbie might not think it's that interesting to do a
regression test like this I know the first time I went through it I
learned a lot and ended up with a better appreciation of what goes
into making a program like Wine.

Anyway, it's up to him. doing this regression test down to the patch
will give him a better chance of getting a fix. He may not care enough
about using Bryce to warrant the work. That's up to him

Thanks!
