+Include the canu command used, or at least tell us what options you've set.
+
+Include the output of `canu -version` if it isn't in any outputs.  It's reported at the start of the logging, and just before any crash report.
+
+Include what system you're running on.  MacOS, Linux, or other?  In a virtual machine?  On a grid?
+
+FORMATTING TIPS:
+
+Use `single backtics` to highlight words in text.
+```
+Use triple backtics surrounding any pasted-in text.
+This preserves
+           any
+       bizarre
+    formatting
+```
+Use the `Preview` button just above this space to see what the issue will look like.
