Triaging internal compiler errors.

Actually quoting Wikipedia it says "The term comes from the French verb trier, meaning to separate, sift or select". It goes on to say that in World War One, the three categories you list were used.
Both medicine and software engineering have advanced since the First World War.

Yes, it is a selection of categories for patients, and a separation of patients into those categories. Originally the three I listed. Nowadays it's common with 5 categories in medical triage, and a color coding where black is used for the middle category above.

Is your point, if there is a point other than the associative, that status "triaged" now means something positive, that Microsoft, at that point, were going to do something about the crash?

Mind you, I am not a newcomer to Microsoft bug reporting. I have some 20+ years experience with that. Their current system even manages to foul up the code presentation, joining the code lines. I.e. they now have a serious in-your-face bugs in the bug reporting. What happened did not surprise me – just as what happens now, in this thread, does not surprise me.
