I'm sorry, but I don't think you did. Any bugs here are going to be 
inside the COM objects exposed by itunes - which doesn't sound 
particularly surprising given COM doesn't even exist on the platforms 
they own.

It would be like saying that if you can provoke Word to create a corrupt 
document via COM that it would be a pywin32 bug - it would not - and 
stranger things have happened with many different COM interfaces over 
the years.

Mark.
