alomost certain this is going to get the pdt-, but i need you to go through the motions anyway. I have beta status docs that say this is supposed to work for beta and if it's not then they need to say that pdt has looked at it and decided no, aka pdt-.

I think bug 28626 and bug 26082 are either dupes of or depend on ancient bug 8002. I'm partial to depends just to preserve the test cases but whatever we can jsut note it there. Mcafee, I'm leaving it to you to say if these are dupes.
*** Bug 28626 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Pav, I'm re-assigning this to you since: 1) You already own bug #8002 (which this is likely a dup of), and ... 2) McAfee is leaving for sabbatical and will never get to fix this in time

Depends on: 8002
