After a fruitless reading of the notebook/problems file in the C-news
package, I am still stuck with the error:

(ccom): string.c, line 136: ccom: Internal: wasted space: 2002067630
      }
      ^
in the function:

STATIC
_initishostchar()
{
        register        char *p;
        register        int c;

        if (!setishostchar) {

                setishostchar = YES;
                for (c = 0, p = ishostchar; c < sizeof ishostchar; c++)
                        *p++ = isascii(c) && isalnum(c);
                ishostchar['.'] = ishostchar['-'] = YES;
        }
}


Does anyone have any ideas as to what wasted space it's referring to,
and why the error pointer is pointing to the closing brace of a function?
This is on a DECstation 3100 under Ultrix 3.1d.  Any suggestions would
be much appreciated.
