The bug I have reported is because I used gcc (version 1.36), without
verifying, I supposed that the bug would also exist in native Ultrix
compilers. I have checked cc(1) on VAX (Ultrix 3.0) and MIPSEL (Ultrix 3.1)
and indeed: no runtime error and no echo! Thanks Han.

There is one saying: ``Don't jump to conclusions''. I am very sorry I did
not obey this advice.

Perhaps the error should be reported elsewhere?
