Please read @uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html} for
bug reporting instructions before you post a bug report.
Often people think of posting bug reports to the newsgroup instead of
mailing them. This appears to work, but it has one problem which can be
crucial: a newsgroup posting does not contain a mail path back to the
sender. Thus, if maintainers need more information, they may be unable
to reach you. For this reason, you should always send bug reports by
mail to the proper mailing list.
As a last resort, send bug reports on paper to:
@example

Free Software Foundation
59 Temple Place - Suite 330
Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA

fact or leave it out, state it!
