I'm trying to concentrate on the bugs that stop a release:

        + cannot build

        + does not run (connect/display)

        + does not do what we think it does

We have enough features - but this doesn't sound like one: if you have
time and the fix is small and easily understood, that's good.  But a large
change would require more testing.
