I have.  You cannot compile Faircom's Rtree report generator without
"simmplifying" several expressions to avoid the 'infinite spill.'

If I remember right, you also cannot compile TeX without fixing
several 'infinite spill' errors.  I am using the 2.3.1 development
system.  I am really anxious to see how often the 'infinite spill'
error pops up in the 3.2 version of the development system.
