>Description:
	the ipf(8) manual page says:

	BUGS
	       If  you  find  any,  please  send  email  to  me  at  dar-
	       renr@cyber.com.au

	As far as I can tell (after months of waiting and a resend or
	two 8-) he just doesn't respond to ipfilter bug-related e-mail.
	I'm not the only person who has had this no-response problem.
	(The same problem was described by another person in a followup
	to my mail to the ipfilter mailing list, which i resorted to
	after getting no response from Darren.)

	It's not clear that NetBSD should be referring (potential) bug
	reports to third parties in any case.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Read the bottom of ipf(8).  (This may appear in other ipfilter
	manual pages, as well.)

>Fix:
	Delete the BUGS section if ipf(8) (and other pages where a similar
	section appears).
