    It is the "user" of the C-R program that enters the bug-tracking addresses
    (in this case) in their passlist. The C-R program is transparent to the
    bug-track folks, in this case.

    Please do not expect another response from me on this subject. You either
    do not understand C-R programs at all, or are simply prejudiced against
    them and are cleverly spreading dis-information.
