So if I report that "ls -l" segfaults would you tag the bug as
unreproducible after checking that "ls --color" or "ls" alone do not
segfault?

You would have a very narrow definition of "unreproducible" then.

For something to be considered unreproducible you should at least try
the conditions under which the problem is *reported* to happen.

If the report says "ls -l", you would try "ls -l". If the report
says "400 MB of RAM", you would try "400 MB of RAM".

Otherwise an unreproducible tag just means "I don't want to reproduce it",
and not "We followed *all* the steps in the bug report one by one and
the problem did not happen".

Thanks.
