Ah, so the mysterious and highly-active morabbin is none other than our old 
friend and drinking companion Andy Adams-Moran!  Welcome Andy! Thanks for 
looking through these old tickets.

|  "Bump" is a cutesy internet name for this kind of bubbling something up to 
the
|  top of the dev list. Please have another look at this ticket; here's what 
| I see (or not), maybe we can get rid of it."

The trouble is that there aren't enough of these GHC devs to deal with the 
hundreds of open tickets, bumped or not.  When adding to a long-existing 
ticket, there are really three modes of operation

* This ticket is mission-critical to me; here's why; please please help. 

* Here is some new information. Eg. I tripped over this myself; here is the 
repro case; or I think I may have an idea what's going on.

* I'm going to have ago at fixing this.  Here's how I propose to do it.  Please 
yell if I'm going awry here.

But your "bump" seems to mean "I've looked at this and it still seems to be 
open", and I don't know what to do about that.  I'd love to have them *all* 
attended to, but we need a lot more people to help if we are to achieve that.

To simply indicate interest, the protocol is to add yourself to the cc list.  
Long cc lists get more attention. Well some more attention!

|  Hi Simon;
|  
|  "Bump" is a cutesy internet name for this kind of bubbling something up to 
the
|  top of the dev list.
|       
|      "Please have another look at this ticket; here's what I see (or not),

|  can get rid of it."
|  
|  In this case, it's also means that the commit is result of my ongoing 
attempt to
|  revivify the bug sweep. So folks should feel free to ignore.
|  
|  (Also, do let me know if this is counter to GHC conventions, and I'll adapt
|  accordingly.)
|  
|  Cheers,
|  
|  Andy
