I tried reporting it to the mailing list which I found in the documentation
or on the web page somewhere, but it didn't accept my message because I was
not subscribed. I figured that maybe the list was only for internal use
of the developers and the web bug tracking system, so I put it into the
web based system. That was a few month ago. I have no idea whether that was
the right thing to do and what happend to that bug report. It is not easy
to find information about that on the web pages or in the documentation.
