How do you tell the difference between a non-real bug and an
non-reproducible bug? I suspect all non-real bugs are non-reproducible
(please, no math jokes), and "most" non-reproducible bugs are non-real.
Never closing a non-reproducible bug would cause a great accumulation of
bugs, changing the BTS from a package problem tracker, to a individual
machine's hardware problem tracker, reducing it's usefulness for it's
intended purpose.
