Lots of Unix users dont have use or understand sources, so IMO
A) If person reporting is willing to code a fix, use send-pr to send .c patch.
B) Else use send-pr with a diff to add a BUGS section to eg bge.5 man file,
   & cc programmers if known, who can delete BUGS lines when fixed.

Cheers,
Julian
