I thought "fixed" was if it was fixed as a result of the bug report, and
"notabug" was if it turned out (when investigated) that the report
reported something that wasn't a bug (ever or still).

Perhaps we need a third flag, like
"probablyabugatthetimeitwasreportedbutnotabugwhensomeonelookedatthebugreport"?

Or perhaps just close it without a flag.  Opinions?
