Is an implementation that fails to equal (or exceed) the value of an environmental limit conforming? Subclause 5.2.4 says that those in that subclause must be equalled in a conforming implementation. There is no such wording for the environmental limits in the Library (subclauses 7.9.2, 7.9.3, 7.9.4.4, 7.9.6.1, 7.10.2.1).

Comment from WG14 on 1997-09-23:

Correction

Add to subclause G.2, page 203:

- A call to a library function exceeds an environmental limit (7.9.2, 7.9.3, 7.9.4.4, 7.9.6.1, 7.10.2.1).
