* 
* I recently encountered a bug with gcc-1.36, running on a
* Silicon Graphics Iris 4d/20.  If the following tiny piece
* of code is compiled, we get the following, rather horrible,
* error message.  
*
* Note that if the prototype declares the second arg to be
* double, then the function compiles without complaint.  And
* if baz is declared to accept "(float,int,float)" and the
* new argument added to the call to baz, then this will also
* compile without complaint.
*


% cat test.c

extern baz (int, float);

foo()
{
    baz(1, 0.0);
}
