I wonder where these warnings are being generated. It has been some time since
I used ackc --- turn around time is *so* long. For the past few weeks I have
been testing the code using bcc on Minix and gcc (-Wall -ansi -pedantic) on a
Sun. I will regenerate everything using ackc this weekend and see if I can iron
out any problems there.

Your timing results seems consistent with mine.

Urk. This is no good. Did you find out what caused the core dump? Did you
ensure that you had chmem =64000 on the executable from the ack compiler?
