I muddied the waters using printf ... different machines accept different
things...  However, we examined the assembly language as compiled,
and SUN and PYRAMID compilers assemble differently.  The bug is real.
I expect the response about which BSD version one has is the key.
Our Pyramid has 4.2BSD... and the bug exists there.

I received mail from a CONVEX user whose machine compiled incorrectly.
