> The variable HZ conflicts with a system define in SunOS 4.1 > (and probably some others). Probably *many* others, as in "every one that's SVID Issue 2 compliant", and some that aren't (as in most S5 implementations - given that you're building this under SunOS 4.1, which has an S5R3.1-based "ex"/"vi", the reasons why you did so may apply to other systems with S5-flavored "ex"/"vi" as well). (SVID Third Edition says you get the units returned by stuff such as the return value from "times()" by calling "sysconf()", because that's what POSIX says.)
