Okay; I'll tighten up the bug number placement before I push.

To provide some context on the jtreg format, the ProblemList file 
support a syntax where the bug number can be placed on the same line as 
a failing test and be printed out in a report. At some point we should 
switch the ProblemList to use that format, but I wanted to keep these 
additions consistent with the current practice in the file.
