You've been listening to the guys in the legal dep't
a bit *too* much lately!

I think the penalty for not casting to void *every* function
whose return value is ignored should be very simple. If X
forgets to cast, X should be forced to finish the I/O driver
using FORTRAN II. Period. Don't worry about Y, he's already
in shit for leaving the copyright header off of /bin/true.

(Dennis, would you come here please? There's something
 we would like to discuss with you... :-)
