Yes, Matt does, but the bug had been owned for a long time, and
resolved and
delayed numerous times, by Robert Churchill, who is now gone.  I
thought that

between
motives attributed to "Netscape", as if it were uniform like the
Borg, versus
those of one or two individuals who may not even work here anymore.
