It's often difficult to tell if two similar problems really have the
same root cause (as evidenced by this bug where the problem is fixed for
some but not for others). So I really think it's better for everyone to
file a separate report so we can collect inidividual hardware
information and logs, then if we later determine they're really the same
problem we can mark them all as duplicates of one bug.
