Yeah, at least partly. That and the fact that I'm not too willing to dig into the code without further evidence. It isn't anything strange to ask tho and I'm likely to do that even for subsystems that I know intimately if the subject code has been stable / stale for years and the analysis doesn't seem immediately convincing. And, if my experience is anything to go by, it's not too unlikely that you might hit something which doesn't agree with your current assumptions while trying to actually trigger the problem.
Thanks.
