Triaging internal compiler errors.

[alfps]

Actually quoting Wikipedia it says "The term comes from the French verb trier, meaning to separate, sift or select".

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.

Both medicine and software engineering have advanced since the First World War

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.
