I recently ported a UNIX program to the Amiga. All went well execpt for
one GURU that was caused by an index that was not initialized to zero
at every entry to a subroutine. I put in an 'i=0;' and fixed it.
later I was reading my C manual and it said that all 'auto' variables
should be automaticly initialized to zero at every entry to the subroutine.
The UNIX C does this, but Manx does not. Is this a Manx bug?
