I am surprised to hear this bug report -- I am pretty sure my othello
program would have been broken if this existed (but maybe that's where
it gets its inspiration). I will certainly have to try it out; could
the poster of the original note please post or mail me a compilable
fragment that demonstrates the problem?

Re the response that "a isn't supposed to be equal to &a[0][0]" this
is a surprisingly common misconception resulting from failing to read,
and re-read, and then study some more section 5.10, page 110 in K&R.
