     Another C expression which is not clearly defined is this line of code for
reading a word from a file:

     word = getc() * 256 + getc();

     There is no guarantee on which getc() it will evaluate first, and since
getc() has side effects (ie; incrementing the file pointer)...

.Bruce Dawson, not much of a signature.
