Yes, I do, and looking at UN*X source code for the VAX and the PDP
I would believe that most of Berkley's programmers/students would
also have problems.

Of course, you can always work around sizeof(char *)!=sizeof(int *)
(or sizeof(char *)!=sizeof(int)), but often it is a hassle, and
it makes porting old (4.2BSD :-) source code very difficult.
