C bug
For those of you who don't read the netnews, or don't have 100%
confidence in what it says, the recently-reported C bug does indeed
exist on our system.  The problem is that compile-time initialization
of a long-int variable from an unsigned-int value goofs up, it does
sign extension as if the value were just int.  The bug is not present
in run-time initializations [initialization of local variables] or in
assignment statements.
