Yes, there are bugs reported in 2003 - but if you look, the discussion if and how it should be solved dates up to 2008. I don't know if that is good or not, but it shows there is activity and willingness to solve issues (if they are important). If you refer to e.g. http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?19728 there is a response and discussion. But I think you are using RIGS (which is based on GNUstep). This appears to be in 0.2.2 state since 2005 and the documentation says: "Currently RIGS is very usable though far from bullet proof. You'll find some real applications written in the Testing and Examples directories of the source tree showing that RIGS can really be used on a day to day basis." Maybe, you have found a bullet...
