Our BSD 4.2 compiler generates the same error when I just compile it.
As Marty Shannon says, the code is incorrect. The thing that mystifies
me is that LINT didn't even peep when I sent the code to it. Thus
whatever is wrong with CC is also confusing lint, but in a way that
causes LINT to incorrectly shut up.
