Sometimes the same problem can exhibit very different symptoms and wind up with 
multiple distinct bug reports.

Sometimes problems that look similar have very different causes. I've often 
encountered the latter in one issue and wound up splitting them into multiple 
issues.

Which is which is unknowable without finding the source of each problem.

Since github works best with a 1:1 matching of bug report with fix, this is the 
most productive way to go about it.

Anyhow, this is not worth arguing about, so I created this:
