Of course!  That way it will be fixed before the rest of us run into it.
A good reproducer is required, however, in order to speed the resolution.

Admittedly the first two are hard to "submit",
but the third should reproduce on any machine, right ?

DEC fixes bugs in their Ada compiler,
but typically only those they have heard about.
