This example looks a lot like the one that starts on
page 30 of `C Traps and Pitfalls,' so let me quote the
comment that ends the discussion of that example:

	At this point we have walked far enough out on the
	ice that we had better turn back before falling
	through; although this last example is valid ANSI C,
	I had trouble finding a compiler that would accept it.

If you don't have an ANSI compiler, and a pretty good one,
you're likely to be out of luck.
