	Huh? First you tell them to look at Bug 326405, then you tell them not 
to look. Which is it? Should we or should we not look? Make up your 
mind, man!

	And you're right, they probably don't know what the real problem is. 
Because, if they _did know what the problem was, they most certainly 
would've gotten it fixed by now.

	And Mark does have a point. If you have commentary related to an 
existing bug, then adding to the bug report would be the best way for 
your ideas to have any influence on that particular bug.
