I've contacted them (via email) and the experience seems to be exactly
the same as dealing with first level TAC at the big guys: the guy you
contact doesn't care much about your problem once he realizes that
it's a legitimate issue with their stuff and not simply a case of
pilot error for which he can refer you to the documentation, and
eventually you give up and develop a workaround, such as it is.
