I wouldn't do that just because it's an old version; NEEDINFO means
you need more info that only the bug reporter can provide. Someone
else could easily check whether it still happens, assuming you have
good instructions to reproduce.

However, 31988 has no instructions to reproduce, and the backtrace is
meaningless ?? ?? ?? stuff, so I'd close NEEDINFO due to lack of
instructions to reproduce or other clues on what the bug is.
