0.8.3.16
	Clean up BUGS file
	.. deleted last remaining traces of bug categories, as the
	   only remain category was "NO SPECIAL CLASS"
	.. bug 46 doesn't (any longer?) apply to FILE-STREAMs
	.. 162 and 216 are probably the same bug
	.. 272 was fixed in 0.8.3.10
	.. added 282 and 283 to cover various kinds of thread lossage
