I've gotten numerous letters since my first question, and all the
writers agreed that coding to depend on nil pointers is a NO-NO.
Most thought that trapping it was a good idea, but agreed that 
there is a lot of bad code in existence (yeah!).  But no-one
has yet answered my question:  if I do something like:

int *a = 0, *b = 0;  *a = 1;

Now what is the value of *b?  Zero, or one?  Please mail me
the answer if you know.  Thanks!
