It is also possible to report bugs to bug-cvs . You can also increase your odds by being as clear as possible about the exact nature of the bug and any other relevant information. Note that submissions to bug-cvs may be distributed under the terms of the GNU Public License, so if you don't like this, don't submit them. Also note that sending a bug report to other mailing lists or newsgroups is not a substitute for sending it to bug-cvs . It is fine to discuss CVS bugs on whatever forum you prefer, but there are not necessarily any maintainers reading bug reports sent anywhere except bug-cvs .
People often ask if there is a list of known bugs or whether a particular bug is a known one.
The file BUGS in the CVS source distribution is one list of known bugs, but it doesn't necessarily try to be comprehensive. Perhaps there will never be a comprehensive, detailed list of known bugs.
