Context

Normally we'd give this exercise to you after a 25 minute discussion of how mailing lists and bug trackers work.

Exercises

Your task during this section is to read one of the following bug reports or mailing list threads, then explain it to your buddy. (Therefore, you'll need to choose a buddy!)

Choose with your buddy which one will do which (suggestion: the person on the left does the first one, and the person on the right picks the second one), then read it and explain! No need to be too careful in which one you pick.
