Well this another issue !! I was assuming that your
compiler was gcc ...ANSI-C ;-)

[anybody with more info, please feel free to correct me]

SunOS (bundle) cc .. K&R .... hmm..

The location of a constant string 
is compiler dependent. Old compilers like
bundle cc from SunOS tends to put them
in the data area.
So the code will run ok with cc .. but not portable

ANSI C compiler (gcc) will put constant strings in
the text area (Read Only Mem.)
