So I was working from memory.  calloc, not malloc....

DYNIX 3 (4.2 BSDish for the Sequent, the machine from which I post)
has char *calloc.... and the less code assumes that, and does not
cast the pointers explicitly.  You have to go in and ANSI-ise the code...
which is also good programming practice in non-ANSI (or at least to 
document the fact that hey! I'm assuming char *{m,c}alloc instead of void....)

P'raps Henry should add to the First Commandment.... 

   When weirdnesses happen in code thou didst not write, thou shalt
   REALLY study the output of _lint_ thy eternal friend and companion.
