+ b\bba\bas\bsh\bhb\bbu\bug\bg is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports
+ concerning bash in a standard format. b\bba\bas\bsh\bhb\bbu\bug\bg invokes the editor spec-
+ ified by the environment variable E\bED\bDI\bIT\bTO\bOR\bR on a temporary copy of the bug
+ report format outline. The user must fill in the appropriate fields and
+ exit the editor. b\bba\bas\bsh\bhb\bbu\bug\bg then mails the completed report to _\bb_\bu_\bg_\b-
+ _\bb_\ba_\bs_\bh_\b@_\bg_\bn_\bu_\b._\bo_\br_\bg, or _\be_\bm_\ba_\bi_\bl_\b-_\ba_\bd_\bd_\br_\be_\bs_\bs. If the report cannot be mailed, it is
+ saved in the file _\bd_\be_\ba_\bd_\b._\bb_\ba_\bs_\bh_\bb_\bu_\bg in the invoking user's home directory.
+
+ The bug report format outline consists of several sections. The first
+ section provides information about the machine, operating system, the
+ bash version, and the compilation environment. The second section
+ should be filled in with a description of the bug. The third section
+ should be a description of how to reproduce the bug. The optional
+ fourth section is for a proposed fix. Fixes are encouraged.
