Hi there folks:

The following concerns Bnews 2.11.19: 

Did anyone notice (on a Sun running sunOS 4.1) that sleep() is used
before it is declared in "ifuncs.c"?  It is therefore implicitly
declared as int().  When I include "unistd.h" [[ to get lockf ]]
later, the Sun C compiler + make toss their cookies because of the
later redefinition of sleep (correctly) as "unsigned int."  I added 
a simple declaration which cures this.....

Whassup ?  I know this is a M I N O R annoyance but :-) 

Is this a honest-and-for-true-bug ???
