Up until now, this has been a conversation. I was getting feedback and
offering information. I had anticipated continuing that two-way
conversation because it has not ended. With all due respect, and
recognizing that I am new to this list and need to understand the
etiquette, I am in the middle of a debugging process someone asked me to
start.

I did not personally make that bug report and I was not initially aware it
had been made. Apparently someone made it for me, which I appreciate.

Already answered above.

In my experience, the filing of a bug report is not "the end". People on
this list had been asking me for additional information. As I understood
it, I was to provide some gdb info. I'm in the middle of that. I still have
Dolphin running under gdb and I did not want to kill that process until I
got feedback from people who know more than I do.

This problem takes several days to begin manifesting, and I have been
running Dolphin under gdb and I'm trying to continue that until I have
given all the info needed. Starting it over will require several days for
Dolpin to get to the point where the UI becomes very sluggish.

I can tell you were not following the conversation in detail. Otherwise, I
do not think you would have reacted this way at all to a conversation that
was in process. However, this is not my list so I will do as I am told to
do by the people who are participating in this conversation already. In
particular, at what point should I end gdb?
