I'm not exactly giving up. It's just that at this point it looks like
the fix will not be trivial, and since my company will not endorse
a Waiver, I'm limited in the scope of fixes I can provide. However,
I am more than willing to provide any testing/debugging services
that are needed. The other issue is that this does not seem to be
a huge issue, since it hasn't surfaced too much previous to this.
