  30 ** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind
  31 Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
  32 to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.

  40 Report by Daniel C. Bastos <dbast0s@yahoo.com.br> on bug-gnu-emacs
  41 from 2007-08-27.  Impossible to procede without more input from OP (as
  42 of 20070912, emails are bouncing) or someone else who can reproduce this.

  44
  45 ** emacs-22.1 with GTK problems (with patches)
  46 Only outstanding issue seems to be whether Solaris 2.6 GTK can be
  47 supported in the absence of recursive mutexes, via a change to
  48 alloc.c, or whether configure should abort.

  65 conditions", likewise in the respective language.

  68 names of the people who have checked it.
