Man, are you kidding? The last thing that changed could just as well trigger bugs in some other application, bugs which would never manifest themselves earlier.
I won't brag about my previous experience, because I see no reason to have a (bad word for a certain male organ)-measuring contest over matters such as this one.

Having said that, it could of course be caused by a bug in the kernel too. But refusing to do your own part because of pride is nothing short of silly, if not rude.
