Hopefully I have remembered to attach the patch this time!

There were some bugs in the optimiser (and a parser bug that looks like an 
optimiser bug) in the released upstream version 0.27 of C-INTERCAL; such bugs 
also exist in the Debian version. A small patch has been released upstream to 
fix these (some minor, one that can cause a segfault in an unusual mode of 
operation, and a bug that can cause incorrect code to be generated in some 
left-shifts); the same patch is attached here. Could it be applied to the 
Debian distribution?

Authorship: the patch was partly written by me and partly by Joris Huizer.

Thanks!

Alex Smith, C-INTERCAL upstream maintainer
