	Well, thats nice. How about these...

as(1) dumps core on long lines (not sure how long the lines need to be)

cc(1) generates incorrect code for calls to a function pointer that is 
	returned from a function. The result is a "jsr (%d0)".

cc(1) gets confused by the following

	#line 1 "arf"
	#line 1 "snarf"

	This causes ccom to generate incorrect debugging information regarding
	line numbers and files.

There are a few more that I have listed somewhere, all duly reported to at&t,
with no fixes yet. I even got a kernal fault from a user program once, but I
didn't try to duplicate it. (Note that this is not the known kernal bug that
affects older machines, I tested for that)

Well, They got the easy ones at least :-)
