+This is a list of known problems in gawk 3.0.
+Hopefully they will all be fixed in the next major release of gawk.
+
+Please keep in mind that the code is still undergoing significant evolution.
+
+1. The interactions with the lexer and yyerror need reworking. It is possible
+ to get line numbers that are one line off if --compat or --posix is
+ true and either `nextfile' or `delete array' are used.
+
+ Really the whole lexical analysis stuff needs reworking.
