I ran into a piece of code that will crash the Borland 3.1 compiler when
you compile it.  It gives a General Protection Fault Exception 0D in the
bcc and bc compilers (I haven't try the tcw one).  Try the following at home:

// file showbug.cpp

#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
    stat();
}

void stat(void)
{
    printf("hello");
}

void another()
{
    stat();
}

I know that this is supposed to generate an error message because the stat
function doesn't have a prototype.  I also know that stat is defined as 
something else in the sys\stat.h file, but since I am not using that it
should be ok.  If you change the name of stat or include a prototype it
works ok.  

If anybody can shine some light on this I would be interested.
I will forward this to Borland.
