FYI, I moved this thread here because the bug database is not the place
to hold meta discussions about things like the above.

To me, as soon as the original problem is resolved, the bug should be
closed. If, as part of that analysis, new problems are found, or other
related changes are identified, then they should be tracked separatly as
new bugs.

If this isn't done, the bug database quickly accumulates misleading and
poorly filed bug reports :-(

Of course, if the original problem, as filed, turns out to not be fixed,
the bug gets re-opened (I've already re-opened the bug in question, I
misread the analysis and the original problem was not resolved :-( )
