Sounds like you came across some compiler bug. Or in adlrun there might
be some assumptions like "pointers are the same size as ints" or
"NULL is all bits zero". ADLRUN works on the computers I have available
here, which all run some kind of UNIX(TM). I have tried it on VAX 11/780
(4.3BSD), SUN 3/160 (SUN OS 3.5), SIEMENS PC-MX2 (SINIX 2.1). I have not
yet tried it on our VAX 86000 (ULTRIX).
What machine do you have?
