Re: Fatal bug in strftime?

[Peter Toye]

David,

I'm sorry, but this doesn't help much. I know nothing about GUILE
and have no contact with them.

I agree that this may not be a Lilypond bug, and that you
have better things to do than debug someone else's code
(don't we all?) - but how does one flag this sort of thing
up.

Best regards,

Peter
