What are these "features" or bugs?

We've been using Terra's compiler quite extensively for many years
(before it was even Logitech's).  We currently use ver 4.1-2 and are
quite happy with it (and no, it's not the latest version).  I believe
there are indeed a couple of quirks (such as with MIN and MAX), but
all pretty minor, with easy workarounds.
