I ran across a bug using sizeof with an expression when the expression
is a typedefed variable of an array type.  The following program illustrates
the problem:

typedef int	BITMAP[4];

main ()

{
    BITMAP	map;

    printf("sizeof (BITMAP) = %d\n", sizeof (BITMAP));
    printf("sizeof (map) = %d\n", sizeof (map));
}

results in the output

    sizeof (BITMAP) = 16
    sizeof (map) = 4

I have sent in an SQR on the problem.
