You think that's bad, I had a 19 email back and forth with a developer over a patch I created to add three standard libraries to the linker options. He did not disagree with me that according to the specification, he was using functions which required linking to the aforementioned libraries. He did not dispute that adding these libraries if they were not strictly necessary would cause no disruption in the cases where it already built. He simply kept saying "well, it works for me and other people," and refused to compile simple test programs on his machine to see why my computer and the spec differed from his computer.
Months later, he silently incorporates the change...Talk about annoying..
