A colleague discovered the following bug with the C compiler.
The following program fails to compile:

main()
{
	void *foo ;
}

The compiler reports:
(ccom): foo.c, line 5: ccom: Internal: schain botch

The compiler does accept void * definitions outside of functions.

This is a MIPS M1000 running UMIPS-BSD (4.3 BSD)
