Guys, _please_ do better changelogs and describe how bugs were 
found. It doesnt matter for me personally but these commit logs 
utterly lack any description about how the bugs were 
found/triggered, how relevant they are in practice, there's no 
crashlog signatures in them for people to check, no Reported-by 
lines, etc.

	Ingo
