Consider the following Pascal program.

   program bug;
      var
         u  : 0..65535;
   begin
      u:=60000;
      writeln(u);
   end.

I can compile and link this without getting any rude messages,
but when I run it, it prints
   -5536
when it should print
   60000
. Does anybody out there know whether this is
   a) a previously known bug
   b) a previously unknown bug
   c) me demanding too much of the compiler?

Thanks in advance,
   Bo Lindbergh
