Thanks for the pointer. I built a version for the VMS debugger (thus
turning off compiler optimizations) in order to step through this, but the
problem did not manifest itself in the debug version. I think the best
answer is to get a compiler released in the last five years. Alternately
one can just compile with /NOOPTIMIZE or experiment with lower levels of
optimization.
