Let this be a lesson to all of you - even when you *do* know what you're
doing, take the time to browse the post and make sure you didn't do
anything particularly stupid.

without making an obvious mistake.

(For those unclear: The declaration above is not legal C, and results
in undefined behavior.  Many books get this wrong.  And to give this
alt.msdos.programmer relevance, where do you think the famed errorlevel
*comes* from?  The return from main().)
