I suspect you meant "but not on a Sun-[23] under 4.0.3", not "but not
under 4.0.3".  The key is the SPARC, not the "c"; the SunOS
(BSD-environment) "lint" is little pickier about alignment complaints
when run on a SPARC machine - it does them even if you don't give "lint"
the "-h" option.  (Of course, I always use "-h" anyway, so I don't
notice the difference....)
