Bug Reports

If you've found a bug

The by far fastest way to handle a bug is of course to fix it and submit a patch. Even a patch that is rudimentary but points out where the faulty code is is better than no patch at all.

The better the problem is isolated and the smaller the test program (or test case) that shows the bug is, the faster it can be fixed. If at all possible, try to write a small program that provokes the bug.

When you have a sufficiently small program or example that shows the bug, go to the Issue Tracker at GitHub Issue Tracker to report the bug.

Please include the following information:

• Attach flags when submitted.
• Application versions if different than the main distribution.
• Any source patches that may be relevant.
• Operating system/distribution.

A description of the bug and any helpful hints that you can think of are also appreciated.
