BUT ... if another user compiles hylafax from the ports chances are it will= =20 come across the same problems.=20 How can I help avoiding this? Is there a bug reporting mailing list or should I write to the mantainer of= =20 the program (maho 'at' freebsd 'dot' org) to indicate my solution?=20 =46urthermore, not being an expert my solution could introduce some securit= y=20 hole in the system; who's going to check it?
