Jamin:
You might try modifying a standard sort/merge operation. A brief pseudocode description is:
SortByBugID("BugDescriptions","BugDescriptions.s");
SortByBugID("BugComments","BugComments.s");
BD = open "<BugDescriptions.s"
COM = open "<BugComments.s"
OUT = open ">ResultFile"
curBD = <BD>
curCOM = <COM>
while !BD.eof && !COM.eof {
if curBD.BugID < curCOM.BugID {
write OUT, curBD
curBD = <BD>
}
elsif curBD.BugID == curCOM.BugID {
curBD.Comment .= curCOM.Comment
curCOM = <COM>
}
else {
die "Missing bug description?"
}
}
If you're interested in this method, I have an earlier node with working code for a similar problem.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
