Known Problems
==============
+* The data conversion test dt_arith.c has failures (segmentation fault) from
+ "long double" to other datatypes during hard conversion when the library
+ is built with the default GCC 4.2.1 on Mac Lion system. It only happens
+ with optimization (-O3, -O2, and -O1). Some newer versions of GCC do not
+ have this problem. Users should disable optimization or try newer version
+ of GCC. (Issue 8017. SLU - 2012/6/12)
