NeXT *will not* charge you for a question that ends up having a bug as
it's cause.

IT's just that you have to make the gamble: "Is this a bug, or am I
doing something wrong?" If you lose, then it costs you $225, if you
win you're screwed because you have to wait for 3.1 :-).

And with 3.0, you never know what works and what doesn't.
