That was where I got confused: many issues are easy to reproduce ('test'), but need some thinking to get automated tests right. urllib always feels like this to me, except 'thinking' -> 'getting lost over and over'. Reading 'test needed' as 'automated test needed', things make a lot of sense. I have to test my patch against a good representation of the issue, regression tests must pass, 'automated test needed' fits well :) Go with "Unit test needed" so it's short and to the point and you have a deal. =) Can I just say (without in any way wanting to get involved in what might be considered as "work") that it's encouraging the tracker received a bit more TLC we might eventually be able to see at least the occasional week where the issue count increment was negative :)

So thanks to everyone who's taking the time to deal with this low-profile not-very-glamorous issue. I, for one, appreciate it.

regards Steve
