for those of you using orca/c and prizm, the following is a bug.

consider the program:
	void
	foo (void)
	{
		int a;

		a = 0;
		while (TRUE)
		{
			int b;

			b = 1;
			break;
		}
	}

under prizm, you can view the variables of your program. prizm will allow
you to view the variable 'a'. however, it will not allow you to view the
variable 'b'. this is apparently a bug in orca/c's debug code generation.
it "should" be fixed in the next release of the compiler.
