Last night I compiled a program on my 2.9BSD system that still had
some typos in it.  One particularly interesting error message was

Unknown keyword

Not only does that not the describe the problem (a missing }) but that 
doesn't make sense for any problem.  I don't know what the standards 
committee has to say about error messages, but perhaps we need a line
in the standard prohibiting oxymorons. :-)
