All the owner field says is, "if someone is interested in this bug, and they happen to fix before $owner does, $owner would like to know about it." This way $owner can reject bad fixes, or get further clues as to whats actually causing the problem. > Hanna (obviously not a bugzilla user before) Obviously 8-) Dave -- | Dave Jones. http://www.codemonkey.org.uk | SuSE Labs
