|
this is to make sure that FSF has all the information it needs to fix the
|

|
|
|
bug. At the very least, read the BUG-REPORT form and make sure that
|
|
|
|
|
you supply all the information that it asks for. Even if you are not
|
|
|
|
|
sure that something is a bug, report it using BUG-REPORT: this will
|
1999-03-15 08:36:16 +00:00
|
|
|
enable us to determine whether it really is a bug or not.
