  * The smaller the better.  It costs you real work to "boil down" the bug from a big program to a small one, but the plain truth is that the easier the bug is to reproduce, and the smaller the test program (= smaller debug output), the more likely we are to fix it. 
  * The fewer dependencies the better.  If your program depends on many libraries, it's harder for us to reproduce.
