During the iterative quality assurance testing process, bugs in either the new English version of a document or inconsistencies between the user interface (UI) and the documentation of the UI may become apparent. These bugs, such as broken cross references and glossary items that do not launch definitions, should be fixed in the localized version by the vendor. Vendors are encouraged to report bugs they find and can do so via e-mail.
In order for you to file bugs using e-mail, your login name and domain need to be registered to PV or BugWorks. This should be done by Silicon Graphics.
Address the e-mail to [email protected].
The following items are automatically generated by the bugs database:

The Subject field of the e-mail should be a brief summary of the bug and have the format
