I *do* sympathize! In fact, I say to myself, I can't imagine the magnitude of support needed for any language product. Be it C, Arexx, assembler, whatever. I know you can't test every possible expression, but in my case, I hit this one several times in existing code that I tried to compile with 5.0. Before you ship, must the compiler pass all tests? If a bug is "fixed", does the product re-enter the test cycle?
