- They answer them? That's news. They've never answered mine. I don't know how
- many I've ever sent in, but I certainly know there's at least one, and it's
- never been answered. (It's at least 3 years old now, a documentation error in
- the Linker manual. It's wrong in a very obscure case that I can no longer
- remember having to do with shareable images and clustering and link options.)

- How about qsort in VAX C? They've even fixed that one, they just won't release
- the fix to us. (Digital has it now, but they won't share.) A flag isn't being
- initialized. Not a major big deal, but many VMS upgrades have gone out, and the
- fix hasn't been in any of them. (Disclaimer: I haven't looked at 5.5-1 yet, but
- I've given up on them _ever_ actually shipping the fix.)
