C Compiler bugs (was Re: Speaking of ksh)

[Lawrence V. Cipriani]

Following up from comp.unix.wizards are amusing C Compiler bugs:

Then there was the bug where if you had a structure declaration right
before main and forget to end it with a ; the program would core dump
on exit:

	struct blob {
		int a, b, c;
	} /* missing ; */

	main(argc, argv) ...

This is also on old 3B compilers, fixed on newer ones.
