I don’t know if I agree with you there. I suppose you did waste your time, since the bug turned out to already be fixed, but every crash has to be investigated by somebody. Otherwise, the wouldn’t get fixed. If they don’t get fixed, they simply waste everyone’s time, over and over again.
The sad statement above was that the commenter saw a crash in a tool, and gave up instead of investigating. Thank you for not giving up when you were in the same situation!

I’ve never done anything of note on embedded platforms, but it certainly sounds like it. You would think that you could pay the vendors for better tools, but it sounds like they all just do the bare minimum, or they just do the bare minimum for anyone who doesn’t pay through the nose.
