Speaking unofficially...

It's not a bug. The current pcc-based compilers on Ultrix are K&R1, not K&R2.
I don't know when this will change. The VAX C for Ultrix compiler is ANSI-like
and will accept pointers to void (for those of you who don't mind using vcc).
I'm not privy to what the Ultrix compiler folks are up to, so I don't know
the when and/or ifs on ANSIfication.
