>Environment:
Linux  2.2.5-15  i586 unknown
>Description:
With the entry "gnats-admin: GNATS administrator" (no email)
in the responsible file, file-pr gets a SIGSEGV while parsing
the file. This is a poor error message. It makes debugging
the initial installation tricky.
>How-To-Repeat:
Remove the email address (and colon?) from the aforementioned line.
>Fix:
(0) RTM and put an email address in the right place

	but also

(1) Check the return on the parse routine for "responsible"
and issue a warning or something if the administrator has
failed to configure the file correctly?
