It's archived.

Archiving means that the bug has been put in a separate location to
avoid cluttering the main view.
Bugs that are closed and have been inactive for more than 28 days are
archived.

Resolved means that it has been fixed.

The bug tracking system is not a full featured natural language
processing system, nor has it attained sentience. Someone has to mark
a bug as not being fixed. You can do this using the control interface
to the bug reporting system, as I have done with this email.
Otherwise, the human beings reading the mail has to do it.

So instead of filing more bugs, reopen the original bug with more
information. See http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/server-control for
more information.
