Yes, the Powell compiler doesn't handle nested modules correctly.

You can also get into trouble with mutually recursive references in
imported modules even when there is no real circularity. This is due to
the way the definitions are handled (by textual inclusion).

Would someone official from DECWRL care to say whether it is legal to
post patches for bugs? I'm sure we could all get a better compiler by
sharing our fixes.
