Modula-2 bug

Joergen I too have had problems during compiles. I have lost whole disks
that were only partially recoverable. There were not only link errors, but
also wiped sections of the files. Originally I thought that this only
occurred when I did not close a loop, or missed the period at the EOF.
However I have since found that the system will sometimes lock, and trash
my files even upon sucesscul compilation. Sometimes I can boot, compile
and lock and then reboot and get away clean. That is STRANGE! Nowadays I
copy my source to ram: and do the compiles there so that I don't loose my
sources.
