When a bug was closed, I used to get a mail that included an explanation from
the person who closed the bug. In fact, typically I also received a separate
mail from that person. Not now.
For bug 4033, I received separately only the two automatic mails attached here,
neither of which has a link, and neither of which says anything about why the
bug was closed.
* One of the mails says that Yidong closed it (no explanation). It says that I
should hear from Yidong shortly (I haven't yet).
* The other mail says to send explanations to me (does that suggest that I
closed it?).
What happened to the mail I used to get that included, as attachments, the above
info but also a mail from the closer explaining the closing?
There is also nothing in the bug entry about why the bug is closed.

I think (not sure) that this is not the first time this has happened. Dunno if
this was a human oversight (no biggee) or a bug tracker problem.

If no one sees the utility, then feel free to ignore and close the
bug.
Since no one had responded in a couple of days, and I did not see the
need to make any change, I closed the bug.
