I looked at bug 47 and saw nothing but the bug report.  Does this mean that
no one has fixed or even discussed the bug, or is the discussion housed
eleswhere.  Is there another place where I can report this bug where it may
receive more attention?  Is there another list where I can ask for advice
about how to find the source of the problem and fix it?
