+This directory contains a hodgepodge of problem reports that appeared on
+the egcs-bugs or egcs mailing lists. Just like the reports themselves,
+they tend to be poorly understood and poorly organized. However, we
+drop them into the testsuite on the premise that internal compiler errors
+are always bad - no matter how bogus the source.
+
+If you really understand C++ (and you know who you are) if you find
+entries in this area that are bogus, feel free to just fix them or nuke
+them. You don't need my permission.
+
+Many of the first entries in this area were done in "block mode" by
+whipping through many months of archives. In hindsight, some important
+information was lost, but being picky on over 8,000 messages is a sure
+way to never get out of the gate.
+
+We'll do better now.
