How to report a C compiler bug ??

One of our programmers wants to report a bug in the HP C/ANSI C compiler:
---------------------------------
I've found a bug the the HP C/ANSI C compiler we use to compile the HP-UX PA-RISC version of the VisualWorks virtual machine. I need to
report this bug to HP. I have a trivial C program that demonstrates the bug. We have applied all of the most recent compiler patches and the bug persists.

Could you please send me an email address that I could use to submit this bug report to HP?
--------------------------------
Cam anyone provide such an address ??
Thanks...

I opened a SW support case via the response center.. (#4604966559) and forwarded the details on to the programmer who requested to have a case opened along with an e-mail of the individual I spoke with...
Thanks for every ones help...

I Can't supply the example program.. since I don't have it available to me...
I think the programmer has everything he needs now to proceed..

Do you know if the problem has to do with optimization?

The Response Center is still waiting for the test case.

I forwarded the case #, Response Center phone #, and the e-mail address of the individual that opened the case for me when I called on to the programmer... I haven't had a reply from him yet..., his address is "removed"

Hi Paul:

I don't think that your colleague would like his email address in plaintext for harvest. I'ma asking the moderators to sanitize that from this thread. You could add that to the case information since that should be treated confidentially.

No need to tell me this, I can see what the Response Center has. I was just reporting on the then current status.
