Am having trouble finding the upstream bug tracker. No mention of reporting bugs on upstream homepage.

 *            fine but exhibit random runtime failures.

The HOMEPAGE mentions both the current developer and his osdl.org e-mail address as well as the two mailing lists relevant to this package.
