If I understand the question correctly, you are trying to find out how
the int variable "i" will be scoped at link time.  I ran aross a similar
problem using VAX 'C', and it caused me a lot of heart-ache.  It appears
that when declaring outside of a function, 'C' defaults the type to 
extern.  To avoid the default extern type, declare it as static.

Hope this helped!
