+	    Matching out a map from a record and then updating the
+	    record could cause a 'badarg' exception at run-time.

+	    <p>The compiler would crash when compiling some complex,
+	    nonsensical guards such as:</p>
+	    <p> ... <c>when {{X}}, -X</c>...</p>

+	    In rare circumstances, using binary pattern in the value
+	    part of a map pattern would cause the compiler to crash.</p>

+	    <p>Case expressions where a map was wrapped in a tuple or
+	    list such as:</p>
+	    <p><c>case {a,Map} of</c><br/> <c>{a,#{k:=_}}=Tuple -&gt;
+	    Tuple</c><br/> <c>end.</c></p>
+	    <p>would be unsafely "optimized" to either cause an
+	    exception at run-time or would return an empty map.</p>

+        <item>
+	    <p>When a variable was compared to a literal map using
+	    the '<c>==</c>' operator, the compiler would change the
+	    operator to '<c>=:=</c>' since it is more efficient.
+	    However, this optimization is not safe if the map literal
+	    has numeric keys or values. The compiler will now only do
+	    the optimization if all keys and values are
+	    non-numeric.</p>
