"In case the first aim doesn't succeed, and the programmer *can't* see it
failing themselves, the second aim of a bug report is to describe what went
wrong. Describe everything in detail. State what you saw, and also state
what you expected to see. Write down the error messages, *especially* if
they have numbers in". -

Stack trace and proposal to do ltrace is the best detail you've got in a
normal bug report.
Good luck.
