Thanks for getting in touch with us; I have mailed this report and the
tarball to Philip, who responded to my mail to <email address hidden>. Emailing
the bc maintainers directly is probably the best route to take for your

BUGS
       Error recovery is not very good yet.

       Email bug reports to <email address hidden>. Be sure to include the
       word ``bc'' somewhere in the ``Subject:'' field.

Thanks
