I didn't imply you and Nathan didn't do your best to get the problem
fixed, and indeed fixed it very quickly. I was just pointing out that
claiming lack of access to the right platform wouldn't be a good
excuse to not work on a problem like this. The problem was detected
and reported by the automated regression tester, whose target platform
was selected such that anybody, anywhere, could build it, reproduce
the failure and attempt to fix it.
