Thanks for posting this.  This bug has caused us real headaches here while
trying to port the functional language `ml' (which is partially written in
Pascal) to A/UX.  Knowing the cause and a suitable work-around will help us
greatly. 
 
If you could mail/post the shell script it would be further appreciated.
 
I agree that Apple ought to publish a known bug list for A/UX.  It is a most
frustrating exercise to track down Pascal syntax errors through machine
crashes! It would be nice to be alerted to other potential problem areas.
