	Let me get this straight:
	Last time I encountered a bug in a Borland product, it took me six
months to convince the you-must-have-made-pointer-error technical servicers
that there was, in fact, a bug.  Finally, you sent me a free upgrade.  Now
you expect me not only to debug your compiler for you, but you're not even 
going to send me "confirmation, fixes, or workarounds," so that I have to
buy the "new, improved" version.
	Sign me up.
