I did not intend to imply stupidity unless in the context of the fact 
that we all make stupid mistakes from time to time.  What I said was 
that the problem was due to (human) error.  I meant nothing derogatory 
by that, just the blunt truth: Somebody goofed.  Isn't that where bugs 
come from?

I have tried to fix it and haven't succeeded yet.

It would be most efficient if whoever wrote the original code would fix 
it since the code is rather complex.

You don't understand what the fight is about.  AJS insists that there 
isn't a bug.  As long as that is his position, the fight will go on 
because he will prolong it.
