The default constructor is "protected". You shouldn't be using it under
normal circumstances.

Right, because it's a protected method to be used by subclasses only,
and subclass authors are responsible for handling internal details
themselves.

Possible bug reports can be posted to this list, as you did.

In the root directory of the distribution. You'll want the daily
snapshot to stay current. Or you can use the web interface to peruse
the source.

Sorry, I don't understand the question.
