[Info-vax] NaT consumption faults with COBOL?

[Jim Duff]

All,

I'm currently seeing some NaT consumption faults on straight COBOL code
compiled with HP COBOL V2.9-1453 on OpenVMS IA64 V8.3-1H1.  The compiler
is invoked with the following qualifiers:

/ansi/tie/standard=v3/reserved=noxopen/check=(all,nodec)/convert=leading

Looking up the NATFAULT error, we have (in part):

"A NaT value can be generated by a user program using an I64 feature
called control speculation. However, compiler-generated code should
never take a NaT fault."

Based on this, a call was logged with HP, and they came back with "This
is a function of the memory load on your machine."

This doesn't ring right with me.  Has anyone else seen anything similar?
 Any known issues around this area?

Thanks,
Jim.
