B.3 How to Report Bugs
======================

Here are some guidelines for bug reports:

   * The fundamental principle of reporting bugs usefully is this:
     *report all the facts*.  If you are not sure whether to state a
     fact or leave it out, state it!

   * Keep in mind that the purpose of a bug report is to enable someone
     to fix the bug if it is not known.  It is not very important what
     happens if the bug is already known.  Therefore, always write your
     bug reports on the assumption that the bug is not known.

   * Your bug report should be self-contained.  Do not refer to
     information sent in previous mails; your previous mail may have
     been forwarded to somebody else.

   * Please report each bug in a separate message.  This makes it easier
     for us to track which bugs have been fixed and to forward your bugs
     reports to the appropriate maintainer.

   * Please report bugs in English; this increases the chances of
     finding someone who can fix the bug.  Do not assume one particular
     person will receive your bug report.
