I feel compelled to scream "me too!" here. Closing a bug, even if anonymously or 
incompletely reported does not make Zope any better. See the recent case of a 
bug that was closed that was still an outstanding crash issue. Thankfully Tim 
managed to rescue that one. How many other have we lost and are still suffering 
from as a result?!
