The Ultrix VAX assembler on patriot assembles the following instruction
incorrectly:
vsaddd 4(ap),v0,v1
According to adb, the instruction written to the object file is:
vsaddd 1(ap),v0,v1
The vector control word (1, in this case) is replicated in the offset
field of the scalar operand. If the vector register numbers are
changed, the offset changes too.
