  66. <p>Your bug reports play an essential role in making the binary utilities
  67. reliable.
  68. </p>
  69. <p>Reporting a bug may help you by bringing a solution to your problem, or
  70. it may not. But in any case the principal function of a bug report is
  71. to help the entire community by making the next version of the binary
  72. utilities work better. Bug reports are your contribution to their
  73. maintenance.
  74. </p>
  75. <p>In order for a bug report to serve its purpose, you must include the
  76. information that enables us to fix the bug.
