Third consecutive time.

That's the third consecutive time I've felt like closing out bugs out of the 
bug database, and sat there and fought with the bug database trying to get it 
to show me anything useful.

When I clicked on "status" it used to let me say "resolved or higher" so it 
didn't show me tons of closed bugs.  This time, it brought me to a full page 
"advanced filter configuration" page where there were dozens of pulldown 
menus that I didn't want, and when I hit "back" it's now stuck in the 
"viewing issues (0-0/0)" mode that I usually have to flush my browser's 
cookies to make go away.

And thus my urge to deal with the bug database is exhausted by the bug 
database itself, not by any of the actual bugs in the database.  For the 
third consecutive time.  Just getting it to show me the currently open list 
of busybox bugs is often brain surgery.  Wheee...

I finally got it back (it's not filtering out closed bugs, instead it's 
sorting by status instead of number (meaning I can't find any specific bug, 
but oh well) so the closed bugs are at the end.  Oh, and I had to set changed 
(hrs) to 9999999999.)  But I don't feel like actually fixing anything it 
shows me anymore, I'm off to do something else now...

If people want any bugs fixed, just post them here.  There's a _reason_ I 
don't fix stuff out of the bug database very often.  The user interface on 
this sucker is just _unusable_.
