The above statement is true.  Let me point out, however, that
what these people have actually done is to put the bug into perspective.
I'd be hard pressed to imagine that they have attempted to "defend"

compiler bugs...
You seem to evince absolute faith that we have conquered all of
these ;-).

Back to work on my bug-free Motorola processor...
