Steve, I arrived at my conclusions based on the two-month delay between the reporting of a data corruption bug and your following response:
I am the developer for the Shared Folders feature, and I have been under the gun recently with lots of new stuff going on.
I have to report that the bug you have reported has been filed and accepted.
I have not had a chance to reproduce this issue and look into it just yet, but you have my word that I will do as soon as I get a chance.
I think it's fair for a person to assume that at the point you wrote this, the bug was not a high priority.
