Over the years I've seen rumours started (or perpetuated) by postings like
yours. While I'm not about to rule out bugs in the software the library has
been around for a long time and incorporated in many many products. Given
that exposure I would have expected to hear of any problem of the sort you
alluded to.
I've seen postings from folks suggesting bugs for >10 years. Some have been
correct. Most have not. I used to follow up on all of them. I don't
anymore 'cuz the software isn't mine to maintain. Nonetheless the issue is
still the same: if you've found a problem provide a way to reproduce it.
Sorry if my note came off as confrontational. I'll shut up and leave it to
the current maintainers to deal with your issues.
