Hi John,

thanks for the report - I'll be pursuing the debian jessie bugs in the
next few days - which I suspect will throw up similar bugs.  I'll also
try installing Ubuntu 13.10 i386 to reproduce these as well.

Over the weekend I've fixed the ARRAY declared at an address which you
reported a while back.

The regression tests now report:

                === gm2 Summary ===

# of expected passes            9500
# of unexpected failures        12


on Debian x86_64 and i386 under Wheezy.  make gm2.paranoid still fails
though.  These 12 unexpected failures above (are really expected!) as
the compiler does not catch integer arithmetic overflow/underflow yet.

I'd like to see gm2 successfully make gm2.paranoid and run cleanly on a
few other distributions and then formally release a new version of gm2

regards,
Gaius
