	Please do !  Tell these people that they'd better send me a mail with
the description of their problems and, maybe, I'll be able to help and correct
the bugs if I find some.

	If some people have problems with efs (or e2fs) but don't contact me
to report them, I will never be able to know that these problems exist and
to correct them, except if they hit me too (and that's quite unlikely to happen
since I am a very satisfied user of efs and e2fs ;-)
