NULL pointer

[Niket K. Patwardhan]

OH HELL!  I made a serious boo-boo. Thanks Ron for not flaming me, but simply
quoting from K&R. And if Dennis Ritchie did come on the network and clear it
up to be K&R, then I can't even argue for a K&R error (it does happen!).

BTW, I have had this misconception ever since I heard of casts and apparently
a number of people have also at least started out with such a notion. Maybe it
is a good thing for us to be spouting forth on the network... occasionally
once in a while we learn something where we think we know it even backwards.
