I missed the original post to this thread, but what exactly is the
problem?  I've been struck by how bug-free GPL seems to be.  Are there
any universal problems *everyone* seems to be experiencing?  There are
apparently some compatibility problems some seem to be experiencing.  Is
that a bug?  I've got a pretty generic system (Celeron@450, 128meg ram,
Voodoo2, Sound Blaster) and can't think of anything that doesn't work as
advertised, every time. 

I think there are some things that could be improved, or added, with a
patch, but I wouldn't call them bugs. 

What'd I miss?
