Regarding the famous DO loop bug (the Venus probe I think if I remember right)
there is a nice addition to this story.

IBM issued an APAR against Fortran IV under IBSYS on the 7094 that said
something like:

   DO 10 I = 1.5

is misclassified and treated as an assignment statement. This will be
corrected in a fututure release.

Needsless to say, this was NOT corrected in a future release, and I would
guess that the APAR is still open :-)
