Yes, I triggered the bug. But the bug itself is in Maemos original camera-ui.

Either you have a general purpose operating system or you have a phone with fixed functions. And I thought Maemo would be a general purpose operating system featuring flexibility?

There are so many Bugs closed at the old Maemo Bugtracker by Nokia with reason "not part of maemos fixed feature set" (not exactly with these words, but to imply)... that reminds me more on simple feature phones or even old dumb phones than on anything like iOS or Android.

I love Maemo, it's a fine thing and - at the moment - I don't want to change to iOS or Android or anything else, precisely because Maemo is a flexible extendable general purpose operating system. And if Bugs get triggered, they get triggered and aren't non-resistant. They even are existent if they don't get triggered in regular use. (Think of Security bugs like buffer overflows. They also don't get triggered in regular use cases, but it's better to fix them.)

And I think it's great if people like Nikolai Hess not only extend "feature complete" software, but even remove nonexistent bugs. *scnr*
Many thanks to him and to all those other people still working on Maemo for N900.

Sorry - just my 2¢


ps, btw: I've written some password prompt in bootmenu/backupmenu style (kind of derived work). It's a little fancier than the small cryptsetup-prompt most people seem to use for early decryption in early boot stage!? Maybe I should post/publish it here? It's a really simple thing.
