Please also note that the nested function had the same name, if that
makes a difference.

Also , in my original post (which I cannot find now - our NNTP feed
seems to be having some probs) , I think I reported that 
there was a newline in a string and I gave a #define as an
example. This is not where it happened. 

The newline was in a printf format string. Example:

   printf("hello
     world");

The newline accidentally got inserted in between the hello and world.
I believe this is an error , at least in ANSI C.
