The following is a very simple program that exhibits a very nasty bug in
Megamax C v1.1. Compiling this program CRASHES THE COMPILER AND CORRUPTS
THE OBJECT FILE!! (two bombs appear).


main ()
{
   struct x y;
   int i;

   for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) ;
}


The problem seems to be referencing the undefined structure tag. I don't
know if this bug still exists in Laser C, anyone care to check? Any comments
from Megamax?
