Open bugs.
----------

         22-015 Shared mem still splits to different segments after crash.
         22-018 WHICH double reports on "." and same directory in PATH.
         23-007 Click on ALERT message sometimes does not register in alarm system.
         23-029 MODE () help needs more constants for modes ...
                 LR,SR,TAB,WAITER,XT,EOL,MSG,SB,GREP,HISTORY,LP.
         23-061 gshift errors when ... mode tab in ... unusual options ?
         23-068 SCR_PAGE jumbles text on x86 Macos. To see do NO EPAGE on Macos x86.
                Mode EPAGE added to all platforms. No explanation for bug.
         23-069 ^200 up chars corrupt window borders and scroll bar. ithnkfixed.
         23-070 flag.c : Internal error : TAG_LIST and tag.list = NUL

      *  24-028 winpick () only half painting the list.
      *  24-029 EOL chars being drawn down the page after .bottom.null.

      *  I think these are related. Seems tnous.c has reverted somewhere. Seems fixed.




    Open bugs discussion :

    If Open/ed crashes and is restarted, it may start a new shared memory segment for alarms.
    The only way around this is to exit all of your Open/ed sessions and
    remove the control file : %alarms.control.file%.

    The WHICH command examines each directory in PATH.
    If '.' is specified and the same directory is also specified, then the
    WHICH command will double report if the command is found.

    If you page foreward or back in screen mode and see jumbled text from
    previous pages, then this is 23-068. This appeared just before release in
    Decmber 2023. You should only see it on x86 Macos, not on Arm Macos or x86
    linux. There is a workaround in place so you should not see it, but please
    report it if you do.

    The integer value of a control character is ^X.
    Quoted control codes needs a review.
