I think I have discovered a bug in CVS; what do I do?
-----------------------------------------------------

CVS is far from perfect - if you've already tried reading the manual
and posting a question on the mailing list, and you still think you're
looking at a bug, then you probably are.

Send as complete a description of the bug as you can to
<bug-cvs@gnu.org> (you can also subscribe to that list; just use
<bug-cvs-request@gnu.org> instead).  Be sure to include the version
number of CVS (both client and server versions, if applicable), and a
recipe for reproducing the bug.

If you have written a patch to fix the bug, include it and mention on
the subject line of your message that you have a patch.  The maintainers
will be very grateful.

(Further details about these procedures are outlined in the node `BUGS'
in the Cederqvist manual and the file HACKING in the source
distribution.)
