Thanks for pointing this out. I missed this one. I just updated bugzilla.

Hi Myriam,
I just saw the bugzilla closures for 1287, 2734 and 2394, great !
While you're on a roll :-) I'd say
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2731 has the same root
cause so a similar fix should work here.
Regards,
Padraig
