I disagree.  All bugs should be reported and tracked in a database, no
matter what.

- Someone might find a workaround.
- People use GCC 4.1 and upgrading to GNAT GPL 2006 might not be an
option for everyone.
- GCC 4.1 is the current, production version of GCC. Even if it
weren't, this information is useful and valuable to all people who use
GCC 4.1 (or previous versions, if they also have the bug) for the years
to come.
