And be sure the mockup is actually representing the problem as such... My favorite example of recent memory: Someone reported a bug, which was that the compiler was generating an instruction not supported by a particular CPU. The submitted reproducer, to simplify things, simply included the unwanted instruction in inline assembly... It took some prodding to discover that there was an actual, underlying, problem. -s -- Copyright 2009, all wrongs reversed.
