What's in a title...
Besides, your statement that bugs and stability are not really associated can be challenged. The type of instability that Jess is talking about can well be (and often is) caused by INTERNAL bugs.
And another besides: The title doesn't mention the word 'bug' at all. Actually, when Jess refers to the supposedly poor way that vfp9 handles matrix printers, he need not talk about bugs at all. Rather, it is then about the design. And when a matrix printer causes a crash or surprising outcome, I can imagine that a developer doubts the stability.
