LuMinoR writes "In a cool contest with a Halloween theme, BitDefender is inviting Linux enthusiasts to crash test their upcoming antivirus solution for Linux e-mail servers. The most thorough beta tester will receive 1,000 German beers and a trip to BitDefender's corporate headquarters in Romania, where they will attend meetings with Count Dracula, the BitDefender development team and other local luminaries."

through extrapolation....one can assume that "most prolific" equates to "finds the most bugs"

Almost, but not quite. Quoting from the contest FAQ:

Q. The rules weren't quite clear. What are we supposed to do in order to win?

A. Send bug reports that have not been sent by someone else. They will be rated and a score from 1 to 3 will be announced by the judges in 24h max from the bug's arrival. At the end, the person with the most points wins.
