Please read this first:
----------------------

Some ``bugs'' may actually be no bugs at all. For instance, if you are
reporting that certain difference regions are not matched as you think they
should, this is most likely due to the way Unix diff program decides what
constitutes a difference region. Ediff is an Emacs interface to diff, and
it has nothing to do with those decisions---it only takes the output from
diff and presents it in a way that is better suited for human browsing and
manipulation.

If Emacs happens to dump core, this is NOT an Ediff problem---it is
an Emacs bug. Report this to Emacs maintainers.

Another popular topic for reports is compilation messages.  Because Ediff
interfaces to several other packages and runs under Emacs and XEmacs,
byte-compilation may produce output like this:

       While compiling toplevel forms in file ediff.el:
	 ** reference to free variable pm-color-alist
	   ........................
       While compiling the end of the data:
	 ** The following functions are not known to be defined: 
	   ediff-valid-color-p, ediff-display-color-p, ediff-set-face,
	   ........................

These are NOT errors, but inevitable warnings, which ought to be ignored.

Please do not report those and similar things.  However, comments and
suggestions are always welcome.
