different values for blocks should not prevent merging of bug reports,
or I fail to see the rationale for this behaviour.

Bug#323133: [PR 21123, 4.0 regression, fixed in 4.1] ICE on arm & m68k when compiling arts (in cp_expr_size, at cp/cp-objcp-common.c:101)
Bug#333100: hppa: Fails to build kdebluetooth
Mismatch - only Bugs in same state can be merged:
Values for `blocks' don't match:
#323133 has `326224';
#333100 has `'
PS: blocks/unblocks in not yet documented on

Blocked bugs (and those blocked-by) need to be blocked in the same
way; otherwise merging them will produce an undefined state. Merging
the set of blocks isn't exactly obvious either.
The implementation of forcemerge will enable the second bug to take on
the exact same state as the first bug listed, but that's not yet fully
tested. As that bug already exists in multiple forms (see #14043 et
al.) I'm closing this bug.
