Globals turning into locals ?

[Ron Natalie <ron>]

Gentle flames.  Many bugs or local features exist among the many
implementations of C in the world.  If you have a particular bug
or strange side effect in your compiler that you would like to
discuss, PLEASE tell us which implementation you are using.  Like...
I am using the MIT PCC on a 68000 or the Phototypesetter edition
of the Ritchie compiler on a PDP-11.

Thanks.
