This was a different bug. You can belive me that when I commit a fix for a
crash and it still crashes this means that in 99% there is another bug. The
second bug was a bit trickier and did not show up in a normal build for me only
in a dbgutil build. At least for crashes I think it is a safe assumption that
when a develoeprs marks it as fixed and there are still problems around it that
opening a new bug report and cc'ing the developer is the better alternative.

For example I'm cc'd and assigned to quite a lot of calc bugs and filter more
or less all noise that comes from bug reports where I know they are surely
fixed.

I know that it is not possible which is the problem here. This bug contains now
discussions for two bugs with the same symptom but different fixes.


My comment was mainly a suggestion to the QA guys who do an amazing job and
therefore it is sad if through such problems are hidden behind the normal
"noise". If I (and most likely most of the remaining developers ) are set into
cc of a bug we at least will have a quick look at the bug report whereas
reopening a bug report might go unnoticed if that bug (in the code) is surely
gone. Thanks anyway for triaging this bug.
