Please, don't close bugs that have not been fixed in portage tree, fixing the problem for yourself is really not enough. This bug has not been even assigned yet - how do you suppose that maintainer will get notified about the problem?
Fixed
One additional comment: Is there a guideline to "writing a bug report"? If it is, please let me know, where. If it is not, maybe it's possible/better to not allow someone new to the system as me to mark a bug as fixed. - How do you suppose should one (I) know, which steps are intended? (just for thinking about it ;-) )
all i know is this doc http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bugzilla-howto.xml which may or may not contain usefull information(didn't read it) chapter 6 + 7 look like they could be usefull to new people
