What is going on with Bugzilla?  If I try to access that bug I'm told that access is denied (even when I'm logged in), and if I search for reported bugs in mysql the only one I get back is 10800 (an unrelated issue).  It's as if this bug is being deliberately hidden.  Is it common practice to hide bugs in this way?  If so then how do I know I'm not just duplicating an existing bug when I file a new report?

This issue is hardly a security threat and it seems unneccesary to prevent anyone from seeing this report, so why is it blocked?

I notice that the original thread about this only arose because the originators reports kept being closed without the issue being resolved.

This hardly encourages confidence in an open and community supported process.


Simon.

PS I notice that after the bug was posted here an immedite fix was supplied.  It would be nice if this could be reported through the proper channels though (Bugzilla).
