+
+ * `g77' generates bad code for assignments, or other conversions, of
+ `REAL' or `COMPLEX' constant expressions to type `INTEGER(KIND=2)'
+ (often referred to as `INTEGER*8').
+
+ For example, `INTEGER*8 J; J = 4E10' is miscompiled on some
+ systems--the wrong value is stored in J.
+
* The `IDate' Intrinsic (VXT) fails to return the year in the
documented, non-Y2K-compliant range of 0-99, instead returning 100
for the year 2000.
