12.3.1 Problems that have been solved
This section lists the bugs fixed since 1st Oct 1997, together with
the date (YYYYMMDD) on which they were fixed, so you can check if
some bug has already been solved in a recent release or developer
version.
After the release of GPC 2.1, this section will be cleared and
contain the bugs fixed after that release.
