Fixing VM bugs?

Fixing VM bugs?

[Kirk True]

Hi all,

I'd like to try fixing bugs as a way to get more familiar with the VM 
code. Is there a list of known/outstanding bugs that need to be fixed? 
Is http://bugme.osdl.org the place to go or somewhere else? I mean I see 
VM patches posted most everyday but I haven't really found the *source* 
of the patches - are they bug fixes for issues other people found or 
just issues the VM hackers noticed themselves?

Thanks,
Kirk

Most known VM issues are likely design flaws. Pure bugfixing work would
consist of finding the bugs in addition to writing fixes.
