I find the decision to close this bug quick and unfounded. Who has verified that the fix committed earlier has resolved this issue? It's not because the last person talking here said it was hardware-related that there was no bug. Ideally we should find a machine/configuration where this bug has happened, test without the fix, test with the fix, and then conclude.

Please read my comment #67 above. This bug has been occuring regularly and people report it mostly against distros bug tracking. Since distro can't do much they often close the report because they find it hard to track and do anything about it. This practice of closing bug because they're too elusive to track isn't right, even less in open source (what's the problem with how long a bug is open?)
