Thanks for the hint. In a forthcoming rewrite, all pages will carry
appropriate contact information at the bottem.

I have created a new section in the FAQ called "Bugs and Non-Bugs" and
moved this entry there.

platform-specific part.

Again, can anyone confirm that?
With regard to the two issues above (but also in general), patches to
the FAQ are highly welcome.
