Rocqueforte OLeary <rocky_at_st.nepean.uws.edu.au> points out a compiler bug
that causes compiler crashes on certain code. The URL he quotes gives
examples and work-arounds.

Thanks Rocky!

DEC COBOL appears to work us - with one notable bug. Check out the online
docs I prepared for our students at:
  http://www.st.nepean.uws.edu.au/docs/manual/cobol.html
The bug is documented in the "Hints, Tips and Common Mistakes" section.
Cheers,
