| The following code illustrates an apparent bug in the VCS v5.2 simulator. |
| The check for whether or not the memory[0] array element was set correctly |
| fails; yet the $display statement immediately after the check shows the |
| memory[0] element actually has been set correctly. |
| |
| I've noted that if the $display and the check are reversed, the $display |
| is incorrect but the check passes. |
| |
| This appears to be a problem with the simulator's internal scheduler. |
