+/* There is a bug in
+ * gcc version 2.5.8 (88open OCS/BCS, DG-2.5.8.3, Oct 14 1994)
+ * as shipped with DGUX 5.4R3.10 that can be bypassed by defining
+ * DG_GCC_BUG in my code.
+ * The bug manifests itself by the vaule of a pointer that is
+ * used only by reference, not having it's value change when it is used
+ * to check for exiting the loop. Probably caused by there being 2
+ * copies of the valiable, one in a register and one being an address
+ * that is passed. */
+
+/* compare the out put from
+ * gcc dggccbug.c; ./a.out
+ * and
+ * gcc -O dggccbug.c; ./a.out
+ * compile with -DFIXBUG to remove the bug when optimising.
