With all due respect, these ``I'm tired by your bugs'' messages don't help
a bit to get DJGPP better.  If you want the bugs to be corrected faster
than they currently are, you have an easy way of achieving this: get the
DJGPP sources and correct the bugs that bother you the most.  The great
thing about DJGPP is that the source to everything is available for free,
so you don't need to wait for the official distribution to be corrected. 

If and when you do correct some of the bugs, consider sending the 
bugfixes to the people who maintain DJGPP, or posting them here; this 
will ensure they are corrected for others as fast as possible (many 
people will just take the patches and patch their private copies of the 
libraries and utilities).
