That seems like a gross mischaracterization, at least by looking 
at the 
Bugzilla bug filed by you which I believe this corresponds to. 
The bug 
was reported two days ago (Sep 6), the first comment came less 
than an 
hour after that, and the first attempted fix was attached less 
than two 
hours after the bug was filed. Further comments explained how it 
was 
proving hard to find what and where was actually going wrong to 
put in 
the right fix. 10 replies total in less than two days. To me it 
seems 
obvious work is being done.

Hi, I was looking for the Firefox bug report mentioned, and
after searching for quite some time was not able to find the
thread on Bugzilla.  Not sure if I am doing something wrong,
but if someone has a link to the url of Tom's post to
Bugzilla, I'd be grateful if the link found its way onto
this list.  TIA!

I could neither find it but it appears same to 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267669. Maybe he uses 
mangleme also? Also I want to know from where he copied Technical 
Details? Maybe it just crash 0xadc2adc2 only is kernel space.
