Hello.
I was testing new functionality coming with PHP 5.0 and found a bug.
I checked bugs.php.net for similar problems but (sic!) didn't find any.

(The reason was because i looked for all bugs related to "print_r" 
problem no matter of version etc. I recived 309 bugs and checked only 60 
first.)

So i decided to fill a bug. After filling it, i clicked "submit bug", 
but instead of sending it, bugs.php.net displayed a list of possible 
matching problems with description,status and question if i'm sure it's 
not any of following. If not, i can click "submit" once more, to really 
submit it into database. Of course the bug was there and I did not send 
one more dupe.

I think that similar system in bugzilla would be very, very, very 
effective and would meaningly reduce number of dupes.

Greetings
