Probably the bug referred to is the one where the compiler prints
"structure reference must be addressible" instead of compiling the
code.  Running the following through 4.1BSD PCC:

    struct xxx { int i, j; };
    struct xxx foo ();
    main () {
	register k = foo () . j;
    }

yields:

, line 4: structure reference must be addressable
