<a name="Bug-tracking%20system"></a>

<h2>Bug-tracking system</h2>

<p>R has a bug-tracking system (or perhaps a bug-filing system is a more
precise description) available on the net at

<blockquote>
<a href="http://bugs.r-project.org/">http://bugs.r-project.org/</a>
</blockquote>

<p>and via e-mail to <a href="mailto:r-bugs@r-project.org">r-bugs@r-project.org</a>.  The R function
<code>bug.report()</code> can be used to invoke an editor from a within an R
session and send the report to the right address.  It also fills in some
basic information, such as your R version and operating system, which
has proved helpful in the debugging process.

<p>The source distribution has a file <code>BUGS</code> at the top level giving a
summary of the entries at the time this distribution was prepared.
