Hello all, is anyone else using CCS under linux?  I bought PCH for
18-series parts, and I'm having one failure after another:

compiler crashes in a variety of situations: #include <stdlib.h>, use
#opt directive, other situations I can't pin down, even some of their
examples crash.

"latest version" on website isn't - and CCS did not update it after a
phone call pointing this out on 12/31

error messages give wrong line number - often off by 1

error messages highly cryptic and sometimes misleading (undoubtedly not
linux specific)

It doesn't seem that the windows version has these problems.  I get the
strong feeling that the linux version is the ugly stepchild at CCS -
either some lone linux engineer guy there wanted it or someone in
marketing wanted to be able to say CCS supports linux.

Before I wade into dealing with their tech support, or getting help on
their forum, I'd like to get a sense that this is a battle worth
fighting.  Can anyone share an opinion?  If I will be spending as much
time dealing with CCS and the compiler as I am on the actual project I
will just attempt to get my money back or use the windows version.  The
fact that their samples crash really makes me worried that "QA" is
nonexistent for linux.

Thank you.
Debugging the tools,
Jesse
