On page:

<http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/tee-invocation.html>

the link "Process Substitution" about half way down is broken.

Incidentally, it would be useful to have a bug-reporting link on each
page.

Kind regards
John Beatty

I'll do that in cvs on the website now.

The cron job to update those links has run now,
and they seem to work.  I'm going to also add this,
since `info bash` seems to work on more systems
than `info bashref`.

thanks,
Pádraig.
