 2, is accepted as a double number.  anton 5oct93  You can find more recent bug reports at
   http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=gforth
   
 after a stack underflow the stack contains 4 values. anton 5oct93  gforth.el: indentation does not work right on the first line of a
   buffer. anton 27jan95
   
 The system quits on exceptions like segmentation faults. anton 5oct93  Conditional compilation continues after the file ends. This is allowed
   by the standard (through an ambiguous condition), but the compiler
   should at least produce a warning.  anton 27jan95
   
   QUERY and TIB may behave differently than some may expect. TIB always
   points to the current SOURCE, and QUERY puts its result there.  anton
   28nov96
   
   open-path-file expands "./" into the sourcefilename. It should either
   not expand "./" or provide a mechanism that allows the application to
   determine what "./" should expand to. anton 16jun98
   
   gforth.el: Typing <ret> does not work when tabs separate words in a
   line, and there is a \-comment at the end of the line.  anton 19feb00
   
   SEE does not work when the control structure is too complex (e.g.,
   load http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/pentomino.fs and then do
   SEE NEXT-PIECE). anton 5mar2000
   
   Include cannot handle lines longer than 255 characters.  anton 4sep00
   
   Errors happening during a LOAD do not report the offending word and
   its context (e.g., the 64-byte line). anton 8sep00
   
   Our ecvt routine apparently does not work correctly for Infs and NaNs.
   Try "ac_cv_func_ecvt=no ./configure; make" and then in Gforth: "1e 0e
   f/ f. 0e 0e f/ f.". anton 25sep00
   
   Our ecvt routine does not round correctly, e.g., 0.25->0.3. Marcel
   Hendrix 3oct00 <8rdcmd$j96$1@news.IAEhv.nl>
   
   Newline has only LF (instead of CRLF) in DOS.  Bruce Hoyt 25oct2000
   <39f7b14b$2@clear.net.nz>
   
   F. does not print trailing zeroes (e.g., "10 SET-PRECISION 125e f.")
   anton 31may01
   
   Block 0 does not work as it should: "0 block drop update save-buffers"
   does not write to the blocks file.  "0 block 1024 dump" seems to give
   the previous contents of the buffer.  Travis Bemann 10jul2001
   <3b4b4f57$0$42883$272ea4a1@news.execpc.com>
   
   When accessing a block beyond the end of the block file, the result is
   filled with spaces (this is also documented).  However, when accessing
   a previously unwritten block before the end of the block file, we will
   get a block full of zeroes on most (all?) OSs.  This inconsistency
   should be eliminated and the documentation fixed.  anton 14jul2001
   
   Path handling may have a bug:
   strace $FORTH 'fpath= .|~+/gforth s" /home/anton/threading-variations/gforth/mach32b.fs" include gforth/kernel/main.fs bye'
   tries to open gforth/kernel/gforth/kernel/aliases.fs, then
   gforth/gforth/kernel/aliases.fs, but not gforth/kernel/aliases.fs.
   anton 3 sep 2001
   
   gforth-native does not deal correctly with inline arguments in static
   superinstructions: when using lit_lit, the wrong literals are put into
   the native code (probably due to wrong assumptions about argument
   offsets). 6 nov 2003
   
   finish-code changes the stack for gforth-fast with --enable-force-reg
   (probably for gforth-native too).  Apparently ecx (spTOS) is neither
   saved by engine, nor by finish_code().
   
   Wrong decompilation:
   create foo
   5 constant bar
   : xxx foo bar ;
   simple-see xxx
   16 nov 2005
   
   Debian's gforth's etags.fs crashes (probably due to path problems)
   on b3:
   gforth etags.fs
   16 nov 2005
