The GCC COBOL compiler has been fixed to prevent 78-level entries from being incorrectly included in group item definitions. Previously, these entries could inflate the perceived size of a group or cause subsequent items within the group to be misparented. New tests verify that 78-level entries now correctly do not affect group sizes or structures.
