How can you expect someone ELSE to reproduce a problem that is so
complex that you couldn't reduce it to a simpler example? Yet you
"didn't want to bother sending it [the original code] to them"?

Gees, a customer support person is only as good as the data you give
him (her), and it sounds like you fed them little information on a
complex problem.

End result: the bug that aggravated you will live on, to bug someone
else.  Whose fault is that?
