a) please report bugs in RT test releases to rt-testers@athena.mit.edu
(so the rest of the people using the test release know there's a
problem).
Please summarize the rools about whom to send bug reports to. I have been
told each of the following things at different times:
1. If the bug occurs in the field, send to bugs. If it occurs on the
test machines, send to testers. If it occurs in both places,
send to both places.
2. Don't send bugs to both [rt/vs]-testers and bugs. I am tired of
reading the same thing twice all the time.
3. If it occurs on the field, send to bugs only; it is the most general
list.

Do you have any indication that the -F option is supported *at all* in
this version of awk?
Yes; I have been using for a long time.
