No apologies required - customers don't have direct access to our bug
tracking database. Just thought I'd mention the CR number in case
anyone wanted to add a "me too" to the bug. Sometimes this helps get a
CR bumped up in priority. In this case, the CR is already high enough.

Added your tip to the CR's notes - thanks!

Cheers,
Doug
