In order to be useful for this purpose, a bug report must contain a COMPLETE test case. It is usually impossible to construct a usable test case from a few "relevant lines", and the whole rest of the function is probably relevant anyway. People who aren't GCC maintainers are welcome to read the list. But they shouldn't forget that the list doesn't exist for their sake. If they don't receiving the contents of the list, then they should get off it. They should not ask the users to send incomplete bug reports for their sake. I would like to point out that USENET sites that don't wish to receive the gnu.all.bugs groups can ask their feeds to add this string to their /usr/lib/news/sys line after the string "gnu,": "!gnu.all.bugs," It be polite to let downstream feeds that are only feed by your site know you are doing this. I don't personally advise this action. thanx -len
