I think you missed the point where he said the bug was present in the stable release, too.

Oh I see I did misunderstand. Yes, that is unfortunate. I'd guess that since this made it into a stable release, it's likely a pretty tricky bug to encounter, since the failure is so spectacular.

I will say though that bugs appearing in stable releases of any software is a bad, but practically unavoidable thing. It sucks that this bites people, but it's not what I'd really call instability.
