Just for a change I thought I'd post something that _wasn't_ a problem.
Lint just caught a mistake in some code of mine where I was shifting
by 32 instead of 5 ("shift greater than size of object").
Am I _glad_ that I ran lint after typing in every few functions!
No, I'm not a new convert to lint, it's just the first time I've made
this particular mistake in C. Lint saved me a great deal of embarrassment.
