41: <P>
42: <P>BIRD is a relatively young system and it probably contains some bugs. You can
43: report any problems to the bird-users list and the authors will be glad to solve
44: them, but before you do so, please make sure you have read the available
45: documentation and that you are running the latest version (available at
