IME, the bug is still listed as blocking long after it was closed, no
matter how many times I refresh the browser page.  But when I send the
control message to the tracker that unblocks it, the next refresh of
the browser updates the display by removing that bug.

So if some cache is involved in this, it reacts differently to closing
a bug and to removing it from the blockers list.

Hey, I tried, okay?  I didn't do it because I deliberately ignored
Glenn's requests.  I even told him in the past (off list) that what he
asks for didn't work for me.  I just don't want to let software
problems prevent me from doing my job.  If there's a bug there
somewhere that causes the phenomenon I described above, I'm all for
fixing it, and will be the first to avoid sending control messages
when it is fixed -- it's not like I enjoy writing those messages.

TIA
