This may not be news to you but it was news to me. The 4.1 BSD C
complier barfs when an attempt is made to assign the address of a
function returning void to a variable declared as a pointer to a
function returning void. Example code can be found below. Can
I say that the compilier voids on voids or should I send this line
to net.jokes. Enjoy.

short f0();
void f1();
int f2();
main()
{
short (*pf0)();
void (*pf1)();
int (*pf2)();
pf0 = f0;
pf1 = f1; /* This is line 17 */
pf2 = f2;
