I don't know about you, but if I ever got a bug report that says "do these things, and it will catch on fire," you can be damn sure I'd be trying to reproduce it with a fire extinguisher nearby. :P
Yes! This is why I love this story so much. I triage so many bug reports that don't even have the barest of effort putting in to reproducing or minimizing them, so it's like pulling teeth to figure out what the problem actually is.
The fact that someone put enough effort in to reproducing and characterizing a bug report for a bug that actually caused a fire is amazing!
