Re: What happens when you report a bug to Apple?

Shawn Erickson's comment is dead-on.
"What will happen depends greatly on what the defect is and product release cycles inside of Apple."

One thing that frequently happens (with bugs like 4059054, which contain well-written, stand-alone testcases) is that (after another engineer deals with the root problem) they get assigned to me with a comment like:

"Mike, when you get a chance, could you try and capture this in a JUnit test."

Then I do my best to take the code that is in the defect and turn it into something Apple can drop into our test harness and run automatically (usually nightly, often much more frequently) to confirm that not only does the bug get addressed, but that it stays fixed.

PS: I have never gotten the text of the Gettysburg address in a bug before...
