Things are not as bleak as Maciej makes them seem; by his own admission,
most of the bugs he encountered were with interfaces. The system I work
on consists of 1.5 million lines of Ada and has been in existence for
almost 20 years. I would not say we spend 50% of our time reporting and
working around compiler bugs; the real figure is probably 1% for us,
below noise level. That's probably because we don't use interfaces :)
