Sascha, I wasn't asking you to defend your actions. Commenting it out
was the right thing to do given our inaction. I'm sorry about our
inaction.

I was just trying to become active.

I looked at the line in question and there wasn't an _obvious_ problem
with it so I wanted to know the exact error message that was
previously happening so that I could have a clue as to where to start
solving the puzzle.

If what you are saying is that I should look through the old archives
to find the error message then I'll do that. I was just wondering if
you happened to know it off hand and generally pointing out that
problem reports which contain error messages are good things.
