Too many initializers indeed!  I think you can figure out why the following
is correct:

    static RANGE example = {{			/* note the `extra' brace! */
	{ 40,	0xcf000,	0xff000 },
	{ 50,	0x1cf000,	0x1ff000 },
	{ 60,	0x2cf000,	0x2ff000 },
	{ 70,	0x3cf000,	0x3ff000 },
	{ 80,	0x4cf000,	0x4ff000 },
    }};						/* ...and its match */

  What do the following have in common:  access(2), SysV echo, O_NONDELAY?  |
