No, bugs must be sent to "motif-defect" only.

Right. First, we have in the data base all the bugs since the project
started one year ago, including bugs found during development. 
Second, MOTIF represents 300,000 lines of code. Consider
an average number of bugs in C code (some people consider
1 in 100 lines as reasonable) and compute how many bugs you can expect.
The MOTIF libraries have been passed with a Branch Flow Analysis
Tool showing that the regression test suite is covering 85% of the code.
We know the bugs are in those 15% left and there may be one per line
in this code. However we are confident in the overall quality.
