Hi Eliot.

This would be nice indeed. It's not that hard to prepare a VMMaker image on your local machine. This bug could be the perfect opportunity to get started. :-) The short feedback loops using the VM simulator are really awesome! Plus, any questions or thoughts on the VM simulation and debugging tools are welcomed on this list and sure be answered quickly.

@Everybody: Take your chances! Learn something new. It's definitely worth it.

And while doing so, it still makes sense to collect information about this issue here on the list. ^__^

Best,
Marcel

If the community valued its primary execution technology then it would be the case that a few members were competent enough to startup the simulation environment and debug this. But the community doesn’t value it, takes it for granted, puts zero effort into moving it forward and expects the original authors to fix all the problems. So when the principal authors have pressing demands on their time, intimately involved with ensuring funding for euro in the execution technology, funding and effort the “community” appears incapable of contributing to, then the “community” can wait.
