the minimum is to report the bug and describe the environment to help 
reproduce it.

the next best thing is to include in the report a test-case that fails 
the expected outcome, and if possible --the optimal way ;-)-- a patch.  
this way the test-case can be used to show the before- and after-patch 
effects.
