Does this code yield the warning:
	Assignment in conditional 'if' expression.
I'm not sure of you exact syntax but I've run similiar code through
Saber and it didn't even blink.  We have Saber C here and I've only
ever seen this warning on code that had the form if(x = func(...)).
If the warning is not as above Saber's complaining about something else.

Disclaimer and unabashed recommendation:
	I have no association with Saber Software Inc., other than as
	a very happy user.   Warning:  The use of Saber C is habit
	forming and getting a Saber C demo tape has been known to cause
	purchase soon after.  I heartily recommend this product.  (ISG
	has several licences so they probably agree with me :-)

Rob.
