Hmm, looks like bugzilla has a bug. Now when I click on the above links, 
I get the following error message.


  Software error:

DBI connect('dbname=bugs;host=10.10.10.1;port=5432','bugs',...) failed: could not connect to server: No route to host
	Is the server running on host "10.10.10.1" and accepting
	TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (bugzilla-owner at redhat.com 
<mailto:bugzilla-owner at redhat.com>), giving this error message and the 
time and date of the error.

Is it just me, or are others having the same difficulty?
