bash: Reporting Bugs

 
 Appendix A Reporting Bugs
 *************************
 
 Please report all bugs you find in Bash.  But first, you should make
 sure that it really is a bug, and that it appears in the latest version
 of Bash.  The latest version of Bash is always available for FTP from
 <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/>.
 
    Once you have determined that a bug actually exists, use the
 'bashbug' command to submit a bug report.  If you have a fix, you are
 encouraged to mail that as well!  Suggestions and 'philosophical' bug
 reports may be mailed to <bug-bash@gnu.org> or posted to the Usenet
 newsgroup 'gnu.bash.bug'.
 
    All bug reports should include:
    * The version number of Bash.
    * The hardware and operating system.
    * The compiler used to compile Bash.
    * A description of the bug behaviour.
    * A short script or 'recipe' which exercises the bug and may be used
      to reproduce it.
 
 'bashbug' inserts the first three items automatically into the template
 it provides for filing a bug report.
 
    Please send all reports concerning this manual to <bug-bash@gnu.org>.
