     Well, bugtracker is developers' facility, and they close bugs
when they *fix* them, not when they post the version which devoid of
them. If you're really eager to see the fixes, you could play with CVS
version - at least that's how people do with "big" systems, featuring
proper memory protection mechanisms. But you're not advised to do that
with your palm - or at least I'm afraid to do that (even though I also
submitted bug which made DB pretty unusable for me and it was marked
as fixed). It's better to wait for a new release, and give developers
extra time to fix other bugs and test new release well.

   Hope this helps,
