The varargs(3) stuff is particularly sensitive to this horseydoodoo.

Try passing a pointer to an integer function using varargs, and getting
it with a line such as

	int (*funcs)();

	...

	funcs=va_arg(ap,int (*p)());

The 4.2 BSD (Bugs Surface Daily) compiler does the Technicolor Yawn
on this one.  The fix is FM as far as I can tell:

	typedef int (*pintf)();

	pintf func;

	func=va_arg(ap,pintf);


works just fine.  As Bill the Cat would say, " GACK! ".
