The sample program shown below will generate the following error when
compiled with Microsoft C version 6.00, with or without optimizations:

   bar.c(6) : fatal error C1001: Internal Compiler Error
               (compiler file '@(#)grammar.c:1.138', line 164)
               Contact Microsoft Product Support Services

The following error is generated by the QuickC version 2.50 compiler
when it tries to compile the same code:

   bar.c(6) : fatal error C1001: Internal Compiler Error
               (compiler file 'gencode.c', line 437)
               Contact Microsoft Product Support Services

Sample Code:
------------

char foo[7];
float test;

void bar(void)
{
  test+=foo;
}

The above program is incorrect because it is attempting to do
arithmetic on incompatible types, a float and an address. If you
correct this inconsistency then the program will compile.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with C version 6.00 and
QuickC version 2.50. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
