bugs.opensolaris.org is a gateway to a subset of Sun's internal bug database.
When you file a new bug there it crosses Sun's firewall to go into the bug
database, resulting in the mail you got. The view portion of
bugs.opensolaris.org is only updated once a day though, so it won't appear
back on the website for up to 24 hours, depending on when you filed it vs.
the daily update. bugs may also not appear on the external website if they're
marked as a security bug (the Sun bug db unfortunately only has a "security
flag", and no way to distinguish "not-yet-public security bugs we must keep
secret" vs. "already publicly disclosed security bugs") or if it's transferred
to a bug category that's outside the subset published to bugs.opensolaris.org
(for instance, if it's determined to be a bug in the Sun compilers or a bit of
closed code like Live Upgrade).
