Honestly, I don't want to be too specific here (for fear of further cheat
exploits on the system).  I will give the example though of porting
the registration code generation routines for the SR products to another
language -- where I had to add a bunch of extra code to simulate the way
that BP handles Integer values.

This example is really a combination of poor compiler behavior and bad
programming practices, but regardless, it keeps the code from porting well.
