Strange.  I compiled the last two programs just now and got exactly what I
expected.  The one on the left wouldn't even compile.  (An array name is
a constant pointer, and thus not an lvalue.)  The one on the right printed
the message on the screen.  I am using CC on a SUN/SPARC.

Perhaps the problem is in your compiler or the way you set it up.
