Now, before everyone in the world write to say "this isn't exploitable",
no it probabaly isn't exploitable in any interesting way.  As discussed
before, I will allow announcements of interesting bugs that have no
obvious security relationship on occasion.  The appropriate response is
to simply note it and move on, or say it does it on some paltform that
hasn't been mentioned yet.  More than once we're had a "non exploitable"
bug mentioned here that someone was able to leverage later for
security stuff.  As long as the volume stays as low as it has in the past,
it doesn't hurt anything to toss it in the list archives.
