Reporting bugs

We like to fix bugs in OTR software. If it's not Debian specific, we'll forward it to upstream. An example of a bug email can be found below.

  Subject: Pidgin-otr crashes when receiving "NULL" in the OTR version handler

  Package: pidgin-otr
  Version: 3.2.1-3+deb7u1

  When Bob starts an OTR conversation with Alice and sends Alice an OTR version 
  handler with a "NULL", Pidgin-OTR as a plugin crashes. 

  Here is my GDB output:

  <output>

  I suggest that "NULL" be caught in a signal handler.

  I am using Debian GNU/Linux 7, kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64
  and libc6 2.13-38+deb7u1.
