While Derek exploded a bit, Carl's behavior is indeed a bit frustrating
for bug reporters. Things like closing bug reports as invalid just
because you didn't provide "full uncut console output" for an easily
reproducible bug (or on the other hand, a bug that can't be easily
reproduced with ffmpeg CLI tools) just drives reporters and even
potential contributors away.
