Yes, that's fine.  I wasn't concerned with this particular
issue, which was quite clear, but with the general procedure
to deal with the case when a bug is reported on -bug which
has been observed in a git build.  This case is not covered
explicitly in the CG.  It seems it should either be forwarded
to -dev or made the subject of a new issue depending on
whether or not the bug manifests itself in the latest GUB
build.  Checking that and carrying out the appropriate
action is a Bug Squad responsibility.

I don't subscribe to any and that makes them very
messy for me to reply to.
