This would be most unfortunate.  Please compile the following correct
program module with your compiler.  If the results are erroneous, please
tell us the name of the compiler to be avoided.

MODULE t;
  MODULE m0;
    EXPORT p0;
    PROCEDURE p0 ();
    BEGIN END p0;
    END m0;
  MODULE m1;
    EXPORT QUALIFIED p1;
    PROCEDURE p1 ();
    BEGIN END p1;
    END m1;
BEGIN
  p0 ();
  m1.p1 ()
  END t.

Note that both procedures could have been named p0, and the compiler should
differentiate based solely on qualification, but this is a degenerate case.
