Yup.  See a recent posting in net.bugs.<various flavors of UNIX> for a fix
(unless some of you people out there *want* PCC and "lint" to concur in your
mistaken belief that pointers and arrays are equivalent).  Also note that
this fix also permits "lint" to check that you aren't trying to convert a
pointer to an array of, say, 10 "int"s to a pointer to an array of 20
"int"s; that is as questionable as converting a pointer to an "int" as
converting a pointer to a "double".
