I found a major bug in Lattice C 5.04 for the IBM host, which is supposed
to be identical to the native version, but I guess not.  The bug:

LONG value;

switch (value) {
 case 0:
  DoSomething();
  break;
case 0x100000000
 DoFoo();
 break;
}

whether value is 0 or 100000000, DoSomething() executes.  When I looked at
a disassembly from OMD, it was clear that in the 2nd case, the code was
checking for equality to 0!  I am going to call Lattice about this,
and will post further afterwards.
