I'm pretty sure that there's tons of old NEW bugs that have turned into  
WORKSFORME bugs during LibO development... take a look at this list:  
http://snipurl.com/29d9hu5

these are 24 old bugs that user Beluga (I think's he's one of the new  
faces in QA) retested last week and now are gone.

I wonder how many of those exist in the 7K list of the NEW bugs.
