There are certain special bugs in bugzilla which not everyone is
supposed to see. bugzilla is not handling this very well, there are some
problems as you can see. I suggest file a bug in bugzilla to fix
bugzilla.

I just made a change to showdependencytree.cgi that improves this kind of thing.
A similar change needs to be made to chofmann.cgi.  Since that script is not a
real part of bugzilla (not checked in or anything), I am reassigning this bug
to dawn, who I believe is responsible for it.

Since the bug was fixed in bugzilla, I am modifying the title to more accurately
state the problem.

Comment 3

[Dawn Endico]

i'm planning to add milestones to showdependencytree.cgi (for installations that
use milestones) and nuke chofmann.cgi. (hopefully today)

Comment 4

[Dawn Endico]

I merged the changes from chofmann.cgi into showdependencies.cgi and disabled
chofmann so it now only prints a url to the other script. Marking fixed.
