How about "main() without an explicit return returns an undefined value"?

Do they write that? Sorry, I don't have K&R 2 at hand right now, but
this is _not_ true. Consider:

     char (* x)[20];
     char *y;

     "sizeof(*x)" is the size of an array of 20 chars, not the size of
     a pointer to such.
     "sizeof(*y)" is 1 even on machines where "sizeof(char *)" is not
     equal to 1.
