	It is "just" the "implementation" of on the ATT 7300. In fact
it is a *bug* in the ATT 7300 compiler. In 'C' ypu are allowed to do
anything that is not explicitly forbidden. You may make arrays of
*any* type except arrays of functions. Any compiler that forbids
arrays of function pointers is *broken*. In fact this is the only one
I have ever heard of that has this "restriction". You should call the
vendor (?AT&T) and complain about this bug.
