until i succeed in reproducing the problem i cant do anything
once i reproduced it i have to investigate why they differ
once i know why they differ (this may be a bug or rounding or whatever)
i can think about how to solve it.

if anything you or someone else did was part of documenting how to reproduce
and analysis the cause
of the issue id like to hear it as it might safe me some time.

but 99% of what i read where hacks based on guesses of where the problem is
and suggestions of what to break and disable similarly based on wild guesses
summary reading the whole wma discussion was a waste of time i could have
spend debuging it properly myself in the first place.
