Ooh! What a novel idea! Run lint! :) <duh!>
I would appreciate it if those having problems would mail me the output of  
lint. I've heard the same problems with mcvert 1.83 now from users running  
Ultrix and DYNIX. DYNIX runs on multiprocessing 386/486 systems of course,  
but two DECstation 5000 users have mailed me about the problem, so evidently,  
it applies to VAX, MIPS and Intel-based platforms. I'm surprised not to have  
heard from any SGI users (yet), but it may just be a matter of OS (although  
ULTRIX is supposedly the same from platform to platform)..
Anyway, I would appreciate getting some output from lint from those that can  
provide it. I'll have a looksee and see what we can do (though I'll leave it  
up to the author to do it.. only fair, don't you think? He did go to the  
trouble to provide it for us.. :)
