Subject: Re:  int vs const int computation: different answers

Okay. Well it may or may not be intended, but if one gives a different answer
than the other, which is totally unexpected as far as I'm concerned, then it's
still a bug. This should not happen. Our company is doing computations where
this kind of thing really matters. However, we have somewhat of a workaround to
use, so I won't pursue the issue any further.

Thanks for responding so promptly though.
