Since you know what to do about bugs, you don't need to report it.
The bug page seems to be used for people who don't know the solution,
or don't know about the workers list.  I also recommend submitting
bugs there if it's important for the general public to have a
workaround.

Multiple bugs should go in multiple files.  This is one bug.  If you
had fixed a bug in printf() in the same diff, I would have complained.
