I mentioned this problem to Rahul awhile ago. The Bugzilla process is like the "do not track" option in Firefox. You can request an action but the servicing of that request is optional. I find it routine that bugs I report are not fixed. But if one is an optimist one can take the position that having the bug fixed if you don't report it is an even rarer event. -- ======================================================================= The Czechs announced after Sputnik that they, too, would launch a satellite.
