Sorry, but this not wrong. Look at K&R page 19: "Expressions connected by
&& or || are evaluated left to right and it is guaranteed that evaluation
will stop as soon as the truth or falsehood is known." Of course, this
doesn't help you find the bug (I'm a VMS programmer so I'm not familiar
with multivol. Sorry.)
