... which is kinda annoying and doesn't really help me.  I also sort my
bug lists based on 'last changed date', and this messes that up.

Bad reports get closed, good reports get left alone, regardless of
age.  If you aren't sure, leave it.

Regardless, thanks for going through these.

Last time we used trac on our server, it would habitually eat 100% CPU
and start consuming RAM like crazy.  It's been a while, though, so
maybe those issues have been fixed.  I've seen trac used for some other
projects, and it's kinda nice -- I really like the ability to do
formatting in bug comments, and I like how it tracks changes to the
bug's metadata (changes in status, summary, etc.) along with the
comments.  The svn integration would be nice, too (I used to have
Bonsai set up when we still used CVS, but never replaced it).
