Why? The known vulnerabilities page says the bug was "Reported by" Guninski. It
was. The fact that Waldo Bastian found the same bug in some other program a few
years ago didn't help Mozilla any. Guninski finding the bug independently and
telling us did.

fair enough.. i was thinking that column was for the bug discoverer, not the bug
reporter.  obviously i was deluded ;)

It is for the discoverer. But in the case of independent discovery we're going
to credit the one who told us about it.
