At the time you read it, those were the only steps listed; the rest I
added later -- so certainly no need to apologize on your part!

It's interesting that this bug, which I picked because it looked so
obviously trivial, turns out to be complicated (as revealed by the
discussion with micahg).  This does not bode well for trivial bugs in
general, but it's only one data point so far.

I'll still try to post about a few more truly trivial bugs.  If each of
them gets more complicated on closer examination, that would be useful
to know too.

Right now, bug #231023 comes to mind, but I want to do a *little* more
research before claiming it's trivial :-).
