Yes, we only have access to SunOS 4.1.4 and SunOS 5.x platforms here, but
I've managed to duplicate the problem by using the old /usr/ucb/cc unbundled
compiler on a SunOS 4.1.4 system.  We'll try to get it fixed for the next
release.  In the meantime, if you have access to the ANSI C compiler in
/usr/lang/ or to gcc, that should work on SunOS 4.1.3.

Thanks for pointing out the bug!

In the future, it would be better to address bug reports to
address@hidden rather than directly to me, so you will get an answer
even if I'm away from my email.
