There's no reason to keep a bug open if no one is working on it and we
don't have way of reproducing it to enable such work.

So please try to show a recipe for reproducing the problem, even if
the recipe is not 100% reliable.  Doing so will go a long way towards
ensuring we do identify and solve the bug.

Thanks.
