The type void is a bastard data type.  Initializations or any reference
to the address of a function defined as void will not work.
The `correct' method of using a void is to say `void int f();'
(KLUDGE KLUDGE KLUDGE).  At least that was the response I got after
submitting a Modification Request to USG.  Perhaps this should
be posted to net.jokes?  It does work though.
