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.
