Bugzilla outcome?

[Jan Zerebecki]

I'll ask what the progress is with our Bugzilla upgrade when
the one who offered this comes online again.

I would consider neither of hang, stuck, 100% cpu usage, freeze
to be a crash.

I think that regardless of the result of the bug it might be
useful to check that it gets debugged.

So we might distinguish two boolean variables for bugs: 
 - (1) Has it all the information that can be provided (e.g.
   crash log and back-trace with debug symbols)? This would also
   contain checking that all the fields are properly set.
 - (2) Do we know the cause for the bug? ( E.g. for a
   segmentation fault AKA crash in the application, do we know
   what in Wine caused it? )

Should we include in (1) if it can be reproduced independently?
