Well, examples... :-) If my car makes certain strange noises, the tyres have
holes or a marten has bitten into the ignition cable, I usually cannot fix this
on my own. Maybe your skills as a mechanic are better than mine and you have a
more "repair-friendly" car (or your garage is more expensive, who knoes? ;-).
However, "sourcecode complained" is really not enough info to find a problem
and fix it.

That would be nice, thanks in advance.
