 171. Function parameters declared with array types are adjusted to actually have pointer types, but this adjustment was not applied in some situations.  Now such parameters are consistently treated as actually having pointer types.  This affects their size as given by sizeof and their type as shown in debuggers.
 
+172. When certain negative integers that are multiples of 65536 were converted from floating-point types to long, long long, or comp, an incorrect value might be produced due to a bug in SANE.  ORCA/C now includes workarounds to avoid this bug in several situations, although it might still occur in certain other ones.
