The following produces an interesting error:

#include <dos.h>
#include <mem.h>

void main(void)
{
   unsigned short far *ppm, *dest;

   if(NULL == (ppm = (unsigned short far *)farmalloc(1024)))
   {
      error message...
   }

   if(NULL == (dest = (unsigned short far *)farmalloc(1024)))
   {
      error message...
   }
 

This produces an error on the _second_ farmalloc(), "suspicious
pointer conversion". (not on the first...)

On the other hand, if I change the declaration line to:

   unsigned short far *ppm;
   unsigned short far *dest;

I get no such error.

Any ideas, or is this a real bug?
