A computer technician is using a new version of a word processing software package when it is discovered that a special sequence of characters causes the entire computer to crash. The technician researches the bug and discovers that no one else experienced the problem. What is the appropriate next step?

• Ignore the problem completely and let someone else deal with it.
• Create a document that will crash the computer when opened and send it to friends.
• Find an underground bulletin board and attempt to sell the bug to the highest bidder.
• Notify the vendor of the bug and do not disclose it until the vendor gets a chance to issue a fix.
