Mark,

Hmmm...I remember that, on the Vax (Bell-derived, anyway),
there's a system structure known as 'ptbl', for the page table;
and 'proc' is the declaration of the process table.  Are you,
by any chance, including some system headers that may reference
these structures?

Yep, I sure am.  Most of my source files of my current project
include "sys/types.h", and annoyingly enough, this file
references the "proc" structure.   I pride myself on fuzz-free
C code.

Thanks for all the replies (was kinda obvious, I think now...)
