  Description: The XTRS target (configs/xtrs) has a clean problem. The clean
               rule removes .asm files.  This works because there are no .asm

  Description: The pascal add-on does not work with the z16f (that is

               another ZDS-II error:  when executing the instruction
               SYSIO 0, WRITESTR a large case statement is executed.  This
               involves a call into the ZiLOG runtime library to __uwcase().
               __uwcase is passed a pointer to a structure containing jump
               information.  The cause of the failure appears to be that
               the referenced switch data is bad.

               Summary of ZiLOG analysis: "This is a ZNEO run time library problem.
               One workaround is to replace the line 58 in uwcase.asm

               From:
                      ADD       R9,#4             ; Skip handler

                      ADD       R9,#2             ; Skip handler

               And add uwcase.asm to the project.

               If the customer does not want to modify uwcase.asm then the other
               workaround is to add a dummy case and make it same as default:

               case 0x8000:
               default:

               This will make sure that uwcase is not called but ulcase is called."

  Title:       COMPILER BUG
  Description: There is a bug in the ZDS II 5.0.1 compiler.  It generates incorrect
               code when calling through a function pointer if (1) the function
               pointer is a field in a structure, and (2) the function pointer has
               a variable number of arguments.

               The exact name of the bug is this:  Normally, when a function is
               called, parameters are passed in registers.  When calling a
               function with a variable number of arguments, parameters must
               instead be passed on the stack.  In this failure case3, parameters
               are erroneously passed in registers while the receive function
               expects the parameters on the stack.  This usually results in a
               crash.

               Unfortunately, NSH does have this exact kind of function call and
               because of this compiler bug, NSH cannot be used with the ZNEO
  Status:      The bug has been reported to ZiLOG and they have reproduced the
               problem.  There is, however, no schedule for correction of the bug.
