Since you're sure, it may be it still there, and being a bug, it will 
appear sooner or later...

Try to put as much as you can in your app to pinpoint the problem once 
it appears in the future, it may be there dormant, but nevertheless 
capable of playing havoc when you less need it!

forgetting about the bug doesn't fix it...
