Hi Peter --

If you find a bug in one of the gEDA tools, please file a bug report at the relevant bug tracker:

gschem/gattrib/other gaf utilities: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=161080&atid=818426
PCB: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=73743&atid=538811
gerbv: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=33921&atid=409538
ngspice: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=38962&atid=423915
Icarus Verilog: http://icarus.com/eda/verilog/bugs.html

Bug trackers for the other tools can usually be found via Google.

It also helps to post an announcement on the development mailing list for the tool, since this attracts the developer's attention. But *do* file your bug report at the tracker so it doesn't get lost.

Hope this helps,

Stuart
