->BTW, could any C/C++ guru be kind enough to let me know whether "major" and
->"minor" are undocumented reserved words.

In Ultrix (4.2) there are the following macro definitions in sys/types.h:
/*
 * Basic system types and major/minor device constructing/busting macros.
 */

/* major part of a device */
#define major(x)        ((int)(((unsigned)(x)>>8)&0377))

/* minor part of a device */
#define minor(x)        ((int)((x)&0377))

I remember changing this variable names in iv 3.0, but I forgot to post
an error report.
