How do I report bugs in bash, and where should I look for fixes and advice? 


Use the `bashbug' script to report bugs.  It is built and

installed at the same time as bash.  It provides a standard

template for reporting a problem and automatically includes

information about your configuration and build environment. 



`bashbug' sends its reports to bug-bash@gnu.org, which

is a large mailing list gatewayed to the usenet newsgroup gnu.bash.bug. 



Bug fixes, answers to questions, and announcements of new releases

are all posted to gnu.bash.bug.  Discussions concerning bash features

and problems also take place there.



To reach the bash maintainers directly, send mail to

bash-maintainers@gnu.org.
