+.SH BUGS
+On OS X, there are two snarf buffers: the Carbon snarf buffer
+used by native OS X applications, and the X11 snarf buffer,
+used by X11 applications.
+Whenever new text is written to the Carbon snarf buffer, the OS X X11
+implementation automatically copies that text to the X11 snarf buffer.
+The reverse is not done automatically, arguably a bug in the X11 server.
+To work around this,
+.I putsnarf
+writes to both the Carbon snarf buffer and the X11 snarf buffer.
+To work around this bug in remote or non-Plan 9 X11 clients, run
+.IR snarfer (1).
