Yes, if a bug is filed against FC1, and is fixed in an FC1 
erratum (yes, I know how to properly use latin in singular form, 
unlike bugzilla), then it should be closed as "ERRATA" when the 
erratum is released.

If the bug was filed against RHL9, and is fixed in FC1 erratum, 
but not in RHL 9 erratum, then IMHO, the correct closure is 
either:

- CURRENTRELEASE (indicating it is fixed in FC1 erratum)

or

- ERRATA (indicating in a comment it is fixed only in Fedora Core 1 
          erratum, requiring an OS upgrade, and updating the 
          system to latest packages)

or

- WONTFIX (indicating we will not fix this bug in this OS 
           release, however it is fixed in the current OS release 
           if you upgrade)

I prefer the first one above, but either should be fine IMHO.
