What moments are you referring to?

I have been using the Logitech VMS compiler for a year now and haven't
found anything like that (caused by the compiler, that is).

In fact, I am of the opinion that, in general, an equivalent group of
programmers is likely to produce much more robust code with the Logitech
VMS M2 compiler than with, say, the DEC C compiler.

Maybe you need a newer version of the Logitech compiler?

Another source of a VMS M2 compiler is Oregon Software. I have no experience
with them, but do know that they have had long experience with this type
of thing, since I tried mightly (in vain) to convince my superiors to
purchase their Pascal compiler for DEC PDP11 back in 1978.
