[comp.unix.wizards] schain botch

An associate has a small ( ~150 line ) C program which chokes the 4.3
compiler with an "schain botch" error. This error originates in the
file pftn.c in the compiler source, but I'm not at all comfortable
mucking around in there.

Any clues/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks to all who pointed out ucb-fix #43. I must apologize, however, for
not clarifying the situation. We added that fix months ago, this problem
appears to be yet further schain weirdness. Unlike the problem documented
with fix #43, this occurrence is very consistent. I've found that one line
in particular ( "void *seed", which is declared but never used ), when
either removed or changed to "void *seed()" eliminates the schain botch.
