Subject:	How should I report a critical type of Cygwin bug?
X-IsSubscribed:	yes

Hi,

Risking the wrath that I should just report the bug, I would like to
just get some advice on how to go about it.

I'm encountering a problem with a rather new Cygwin package/feature that
if reproducible, has serious consequence on the hosting Windows
platform.

My concern is that if I list the steps here, readers will blindly try
this (rather easily performed) action and break their computer.

Should I just whack on a disclaimer and report it?

Shaddy
