The reason you are not seeing bug reports is not because FlashSFV (applies to any version) is stable.
First it should be noted that FlashSFV is a free utility.
If a user finds FlashSFV too buggy that its cost exceeds its utility, then the FlashSFV user will tend to find a suitable substitute for FlashSFV than continue the use of FlashSFV. If a substitute is found (they do exist), it would not be in the interest of the substitute user to post the bug report.
If FlashSFV's utility exceeds the costs, a user may continue the use of FlashSFV (however if a substitute is found with greater utility and lower cost, then the FlashSFV user will switch to the substitute).
Now, supose a bug report were posted. FlashSFV would no longer be "free" (cost of time in posting the bug report). The cost of posting the bug report tends to exceed FlashSFV's utility; therfore a user is more likely to not post a bug report and/or seek a substitute.
The above asumes rational thought.
It may help to publicly ask for FlashSFV bug reports.
Als note: Many may believe that FlashSFV 2.5 is unfiunished (as it probably is). Until it is released in some way (possibly beta), do not expect any feedback.
