I remember seeing "benchmarking" data for various 68k Pascal compilers.
Included in this data was the code size of a "null" Pascal program, and
information about whether or not the "null" program ran when compiled.  Many
did not!

I thought this was ridiculous until I compiled a null program with my
compiler, and watched the executable crash...

Perhaps any null program will crash with MS Pascal?
