So _now_ we know this could have possibly been affecting many people we didn't know about. You have to remember that this driver only started to work on .37, so people might have tried it, seen it crashing and said "oh well, it's on 'staging' for a reason", having no point of reference that would be a valid conclusion, while in fact this is a regression from pre-staging (the issue wasn't there). Anyway, I don't think .38.1 is going to be released in one week, but I guess if people are having issues and not reporting them, they can wait more.
