There are several bugs in the Trac system that have been there since (at least) 2004. That makes them more than three years old. I really think that these should be dealt with (fixed, marked as obsolete, declared "wontFix") for 1.35.

I am volunteering to look at the pool bugs - can anyone look at the tokenizer bugs? And those maintainers who are still around (Jeff, Joel, Jeremy), please close these bugs?
