[Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Any help verifying the bug (set status as triaged or confirmed) and/or
getting all of the necessary information to reproduce a segfault bug
such as sample files, accurate list of steps to reproduce, or a stack
trace is really helpful and can be time consuming.  Getting all of this
information up front can take a large burden off of a developers time.
If you are willing to accept some of this responsibility, I would be
more than happy to add you to the bug squad.

Cheers,

Wayne
