You hack on this code base (hack is the right word) -- I sell it, 
service and support it with customers in a dozen countries.  I don't report
company level issues in "bugzilla" or anywhere else public unless they 
apply to kernel code.  calls from several of our apps (which use
larger than 4K kernel space on a stack) from user space crash -- so do 
wireless drivers -- and kdb crashes as well with some bugs with 4K stacks
turned on when you are trying to debug something. 

Hope that addresses your concerns "joe job".
