assert() problem

[Joel M. Miller]

In compiling about 20,000 lines of C and Fortran code I originally wrote
for another Unix system, I was pleased to run into only one small problem,
which might be worth fixing, or at least documenting.  The A/UX implementation
of assert() as a macro makes it illegal to write things like:

	assert(fp = fopen(fname, "r"));

since the macro adds some double quotes of its own, which then pair up
incorrectly with those around the "r".
