It is like walking a maze and realizing that you are almost at the exit point BUT there is a wall in front of you and you have to find another path. Very frustrating.

+1 Exactly...this appears to be the hardest thing to understand about debugging software.... a fix for one thing can break two or more others. Its a constant struggle of test, rewrite, test, rewrite, until it works. There are no foolproof checklists to get things done in this type of work. The critical factor here is that they appear to have solved the performance, stability issues which were the issues that could easily have killed the series.
