While merging versions of "ar", I discovered a bug in the UNIX System V Release 2.0 source file ar.c (SCCS ID 2.7). At about line 193, where the 'i' flag is being tested to set the 'b' flag, the "*cp" is erroneous; it should be "'b'". This is pretty obvious once you notice it.

Never mind, when I went back to the editor this apparent bug had vanished! The real bug is in the Jove (editor) screen update algorithm, which incompletely updated the line containing the apparent "bug". Everybody go back to sleep..
