how has C bitten you?

[Andrew Koenig]

I am collecting examples of how C can bite the unwary user.

Consider, for example, the following program fragment:

	int i, a[10];
	for (i = 0; i <= 10; i++)
		a[i] = 0;

On many implementations, this will result in an infinite loop.

If you have any good examples, and you don't mind my re-publishing
them (with attribution), send them along!
