Hi Jacob,

  Thanks for the bug report.

I have checked in this suggested solution.

The purpose is that it allows to keep track of bugs individually.

This bug was a simple one and so will probably not involve a lot
of discussion or trial and error whilst fixing, but this is not
true of all bugs.  Some take a long time to fix, and some are fixed
and then later on reappear.  Having a specific bug report to gather
together all comments, patches and reproducers regarding a single
problem makes things a lot easier to track and resolve.

Cheers
  Nick
