remain unfixed for all eternity, if not longer.
+It is a good idea to check first that the problem was not reported
+before. Bugs are documented in two places: The file @file{BUGS}
+describes a number of well known bugs and the bug tracking system has a
+WWW interface at
+@url{http://www-gnats.gnu.org:8080/cgi-bin/wwwgnats.pl}. The WWW
+interface gives you access to open and closed reports. The closed
+reports normally include a patch or a hint on solving the problem.

To report a bug, first you must find it. Hopefully, this will be the
hard part. Once you've found a bug, make sure it's really a bug. A
good way to do this is to see if the GNU C library behaves the same way
test case, the results you got, the results you expected, and what you
think the problem might be (if you've thought of anything).
@code{glibcbug} will insert the configuration information we need to
-see, and ship the report off to @email{bug-glibc@@gnu.org}. Don't send
+see, and ship the report off to @email{bugs@@gnu.org}. Don't send
a message there directly; it is fed to a program that expects mail to be
formatted in a particular way. Use the script.
