Yet another bug in TURBO C 2.0

This brings back old memory of bugs in Turbo C 1.0. Some of the bugs
were outright silly (and shouldn't be there in the first place). They
were so silly that Borland refuse to acknowledge their existence !
In fact, Borland quietly release a second version 1.0 and fixed those
bugs without telling anybody !! This is for real ! I might still have
a copy of the original buggy version 1.0 sitting somewhere !

One of the most famous bug was the floating point division which gives
wrong results ! Can't remember the exact detail though .....

Human memory ...... its like flaky hard disk .....  :-(.
