short story: dont worry about the updated field, ive had a better solution
for a while now.

long story:
actually it computes an md5sum of all the files in the spell, then
caches it when the spell breaks. At which point it will try very hard
not to recast that spell and produce a duplicate bug. When updates occur,
the md5sum is recomputed, and if the spell has a different md5sum it is
assumed that the bug was 'fixed' and it is taken off the list of broken
spells. If the bug is still there and the spell manages to get cast again,
the bug is resubmitted.
