The VCG on the other hand seemed to be quite fragile (I never worked on on the VCG but we all sat at the same lunch table and shared stories - there are a few ex engineers who read c.o.v now and them and I'm sure they'll send me email to correct me).  Do HELP CC on the VAX and look at all the optimizer knobs that exist (and there are many undocumented knobs too).  They didn't expose all those settings just for fun, they were there so you can start turning them off to avoid optimizer/backend bugs.

I understand now. :-)

Thanks, John.

Simon.
