   I knew I ought to raise a bug report but didn't want to go through the   
   bother: IME bug reports are either ignored, wrongly marked as   
   duplicates, get people asking unrelated questions, or I get told to   
   upgrade and try again etc. :-(   
      
   Still, I don't think those bug reports were for Nasm and I know you are   
   right that it should be reported so I have done so at   
      
      https://bugzilla.nasm.us/show_bug.cgi?id=3392729   
      
   Even that told me the FORM data had timed out or suchlike and I ended up   
   with two reports so I had to close one of them as a duplicate! Grr!   
      
   Still, it's done. Thanks for confirming that the situation looked like a   
   genuine bug.
