bbaasshhbbuugg is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports
concerning bash in a standard format. bbaasshhbbuugg invokes the editor spec-
ified by the environment variable EEDDIITTOORR on a temporary copy of the bug
report format outline. The user must fill in the appropriate fields and
exit the editor. bbaasshhbbuugg then mails the completed report to _b_u_g_-
_b_a_s_h_@_g_n_u_._o_r_g, or _e_m_a_i_l_-_a_d_d_r_e_s_s. If the report cannot be mailed, it is
saved in the file _d_e_a_d_._b_a_s_h_b_u_g in the invoking user's home directory.
The bug report format outline consists of several sections. The first
section provides information about the machine, operating system, the
bash version, and the compilation environment. The second section
should be filled in with a description of the bug. The third section
should be a description of how to reproduce the bug. The optional
fourth section is for a proposed fix. Fixes are encouraged.

EEDDIITTOORR Specifies the preferred editor. If EEDDIITTOORR is not set, bbaasshhbbuugg
attempts to locate a number of alternative editors, including

it attempts to execute vvii.
HHOOMMEE Directory in which the failed bug report is saved if the mail
fails.
