BUG REPORTS

If you find a bug in bash, you should report it. But first, you should make sure that it really is a bug, and that it appears in the latest version of bash that you have.

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\fP or posted to the Usenet newsgroup .BR gnu.bash.bug .

ALL bug reports should include:

The version number of bash

The hardware and operating system

The compiler used to compile

A description of the bug behaviour

A short script or `recipe' which exercises the bug

bashbug inserts the first three items automatically into the template it provides for filing a bug report.

Comments and bug reports concerning this manual page should be directed to .IR chet@ins.CWRU.Edu .
