I wanted to submit a bug that the Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-0.9.1 is still broken.

So I add a comment and it sends me a confirmation email.

<http://pear.php.net/account-request-confirm.php?salt=e7e9fc9479727464e3191129f300960a& type=bug> &type=bug
I click it.
Then it asks me some username/password info. but I'm not registered, so it fails.
https://pear.php.net/account-request-confirm.php
Then I try to register:
https://pear.php.net/account-request.php
and unless I'm a complete idiot, I don't see a link that says, "NEW ACCOUNT" or anything like that!?

There are account creating links for everything else though:
https://pear.php.net/account-request-newpackage.php
https://pear.php.net/account-request...ingpackage.php
https://pear.php.net/account-request-vote.php
but the one that is what I need has no account creation page:
https://pear.php.net/bugs/

So how the F*&$#^% do I register to submit a comment for a PEAR package that has been broken for months and nobody is fixing for
over a year and makes the entire package unuseable!

BTW, here is what I tried to add to the bug:

Seriously there is no solution to this yet? I'm copying and pasting the example from
<http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.fileformats.spreadsheet-excel-writer.intro.php>
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/packag...iter.intro.php and it doesn't work.

The other error I keep getting is:
<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined method stdClass::close() in
<b>/lockdown/includes/pear/Spreadsheet/Excel/Writer/Workbook.php</b> on line <b>510</b><br />
