| Your bug reports play an essential role in making the binary utilities |
| reliable. |
| |
| <p>Reporting a bug may help you by bringing a solution to your problem, or |
| it may not. But in any case the principal function of a bug report is |
| to help the entire community by making the next version of the binary |
| utilities work better. Bug reports are your contribution to their |
| maintenance. |
| |
| <p>In order for a bug report to serve its purpose, you must include the |
| information that enables us to fix the bug. |
