You remind me there's a process in place to close bugs because nobody's 
bothered to either try to fix them or even to see whether they still exist.

The assumptions are the original reporter is still able to reproduce it 
or is still interested or it's accidentally been fixed.

I originally reported it against FC6. It's moved to RHEL5 now, but I 
don't know that anyone's bothered to look at it.
