Does anyone know of a fix for the following bug in the pascal
interpreter ( 4.1bsd ).  The following program


program test(output);
type xxx = -128..127;
var i: xxx;
begin
  for i := -3 to 1 do
    writeln(i);
  writeln('okay');
end.

executed by the pascal interpreter gives the following output ....


        -3
        -2
        -1

Value of -256 is out of range



	Error in "test"+1 near line 5.

7 statements executed in 0.02 seconds cpu time.


This problem goes away if the runtime tests of subrange variables are 
suppressed but it would be nice if there was a better solution.
