Warning: Rant ahead.

This is probably not the right place to bring it up, but this sort of bug is a 
demonstration of one of the WORST ways to run a bug reporting system.

Let's go through a couple of issues:

State: 11-Closed:Duplicate
-- Ok, I understand that bugs with the same underlying cause can have different 
reported symptoms, so let's see if my bug matches up.

Keywords: boston-reviewed | boston-rr-doc | boston-waiver-approved | e1000g | 
seabos-res-plan | seabos-rp-fix-s10u3 | seabos-sqo-reviewed | seattle-rr-doc | 
seattle-waiver-list
-- Other than "e1000g", all of the keywords appear to be documenting the 
workflow of moving this bugfix into Solaris, rather than OpenSolaris, and 
certainly nothing that would match any sane keyword search for a problem I'm 
having.

Duplicate of: 6453554
-- Unfortunately, that bug is not available at bugs.opensolaris.org, so I have 
no idea if the problem I'm seeing is a duplicate of this bug.

Introduced in: solaris_nevada
-- Wow, that's a very large place to start looking for the bug.  I guess the 
duplicate-of would probably narrow this down.

Commit to Fix, Fixed In, Release Fixed, all blank.
-- So it's closed as a duplicate of a bug that I can only assume was fixed 
somewhere.

Related bugs:             6428335  , 6450683  , 6453554  , 6458708
-- While they might be related in some code sense, two of the four involve 
kernel panics (on hardware codenamed boston), one is a placeholder bug to 
replace the older IPGE driver with e1000g, and the other is not available on 
bugs.opensolaris.org

And finally, the crowning achievement of bug clarity:
Description: See Comments
-- Is there somewhere else I'm supposed to be looking?  Does this mean figure 
out what mercurial changeset corresponded to this bugfix and look at the source 
comments?
