>Description:
I have two bugs to report; the first concerns your bug
reporting system.  There is an endless loop between your
webpages:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport
points to
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html
which points to 
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport
etc.

I discoverd this bug after I was asked to report a bug by
gcc (I think).  Here is a bit of the text I saw that 
resulted in this report

Please submit a full bug report.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build Octave-2.0.16 on my box.  If somebody wants 
to give it a shot my box has your account!  But you should 
hurry, I will be moving soon.  I am not sure how
long I will be without good internet access, probably a
month (sigh).  If I get half a chance I will try to get
a T1, guess I'll have to see what the economics are 
like in my new home.  I will continue to work for
sgi.

Nice bug reporting system; thanks.
>Fix:
Fix?! You've got me; I'm a hardware goober.  Ask me how 
to make your signals look better and I can help!

I would be happy to co-operate in any fix.  I work for 
sgi and have access to any hardware you might want to 
use to correct this bug.  From old Indigos to the 
latest many processor Origin 3000's.
