Whoa. Let me recapitulate:
- first I provide feedback on patches.

-> I'm told I'm not helping but merely whining.

- then I offer to fix the problem myself given somebody explains
what's going on in the code so that I at least know where to start
and what to look for.

-> I am told by DaveM to re-read a sentence by DaveM that seems
to inform me that even if I'm willing to help, I'm likely not able
to, anyway.

Hello!! How exactly is *this* helping then?
