Asking the initial bug reporter for a failure case (even if it takes a
direct email) is always good -- and it's absolutely the right thing to do.
If you can't prove that the current code doesn't fail, you can't prove
that any new code succeeds.  Don't feel bad about closing it with
WORKSFORME if you can't reproduce it or acquire a test case.

The other thing we all need to get better about is committing test cases
to the (currently pretty woeful) unit tests in Struts, so that we can
protect ourselves against regressions later.  But I'm willing to forgo
that for now, as long as we (as a group) make it a high priority post-1.1
goal.
