[mod.computers.vax] VMS "&" symbol substitution operator bug.

Thx-1138@SRI-KL.ARPA:WILLIAMS@EDWARDS-2060.ARPA (Williams@Edwards-2060) (08/30/86)

	In testing  a DCL  utility of  mine, I  came across  a  rather
interesting way  to log  yourself  out in  a  hurry...  Just  type  an
ampersand (&), and a <RETURN> at the DCL comand prompt.  (the old last
chance vector in EXEC mode, it seems, and it'll do it with anything of
the form "&undefined_symbol, too)...

	I seem to recall reading about  this problem at some point  in
the dim and  distants, but I  can't find  any reference to  it in  the
latest SPR index.

	Has anybody heard any news on this?

P.S.  We're running VMS v4.4
