I'm fed up of people complaining about developers. It's *free software*, and if
you get anything more than you paid for then you should be grateful (I
certainly am).

This is doubly so considering all the criticism that has gone the way of the
OpenSSL people in the wake of Heartbleed. When someone gives their best effort
to produce software as a gift to the community, often working in spare evenings
with lots of other distractions which prevent them giving their full focus to
the task, they get next to no praise when it works and a whole heap of
criticism when they make a tiny mistake. People even accuse them of
deliberately inserting the mistake as a government spy.

I'm currently writing up my PhD thesis. When I finish, I will have some free
time while waiting for my viva voce, and would be willing to spend some of that
time trying to fix this, as it is something I would find useful myself and
potentially also a helpful addition to my CV. However there are probably plenty
of people out there who would do a better job than I, especially since I have
mainly used Fortran and Python for the last 4 years so my C/C++ is rather
rusty.
