The reason parse_commit() would fail at this point would be because
the repository is corrupt, I do not think it would hurt to do such a
change.  

I agree that it is curious why it shows up as a "new defect",
though.

By the way, do you know who is managing the service on our end
(e.g. approving new people to be "defect viewer")?  The site seems
to think I have the power to manage others' subscription, which I do
not think I have (I do not go to the site myself).  As it spewed
quite a many false positives into my mailbox in the past, I do not
pay very close attention to these reports these days, but I still
read the e-mailed reports every once in a while.

Thanks.
