I am testing 4.6.2 (AT91SAM9260 platform), and will try 4.6.3 to go on 
(ecos 3.0 builds OK, but our application fails).
But when I want to see those "issues with GCC 4.6.2", I get this:

     You are not authorized to access bug #1001468.

(I can see other bugs.)
Why is this? Maybe something wrong with my account, because when I go to 
my 'permissions tab', I get this:

     There are no permission bits set on your account.
