 the RunRev engineers, and equally it seems pointless to raise a new

 and indeed the technique here? Sorry if this is naive, but like I
 said I've not used Bugzilla before.
No problem. When you click on a bug in a list (like the result of a
search) you are on a page with a header that says something like
"Bugzilla Bug 643". Near the middle of the page is a field called
"Additional Comments". Simply type in your comments on the bug and click
the "Commit" button. If you were not the original poster of the bug,
you're only option (displayed above the Commit button) is "Leave as
<status>", which means that all you can do is comment on the bug. If you
ARE the original poster, you can change the status and do a couple of
other things in addition to adding a comment or using the field to
explain why you changed the status of the bug.
I know I'm lagging behind on this, but I don't see how I or anyone 
else would have known this from the Bugzilla interface. It should be 
stated more clearly that additional comments can be made by someone 
who isn't the author of the original report, IMHO. Anyway away I go 
to vote and comment.

Thanks

Graham
