@code{g77} doesn't work perfectly on 64-bit configurations such as the Alpha.
|

This problem is expected to be largely resolved as of version 0.5.20,
|
||||
and further addressed by 0.5.21.
|
||||
Version 0.6 should solve most or all related problems (such as
|

64-bit machines other than Digital Semiconductor (``DEC'') Alphas).
|

|

One known bug that causes a compile-time crash occurs when compiling
|

code such as the following with optimization:

@example
|

SUBROUTINE CRASH (TEMP)
