I have removed it.  Thank you for reporting it.  It is easy for admins
to remove reports that are spam.

For future reference for us admins there is a script to do this.  It
actually moves the report into a trashcan area so that it can be
restored in the case of an error making this relatively safe.

    ./edit_bug.bash -a -r 55458

This is in root's home directory.  The -r says to remove the report.
The -a says the report has already been archived and is needed for
reports that have been archived by time already.
