Hmmm. These are the results on my system (HP9000/500 with HP-UX 5.11):

    $ cat t.c
    main () { (void) close (1); }
    $ lint t.c
    t.c
    ==============
    (1)  warning: main() returns random value to invocation environment
    
    
    ==============
    function returns value which is always ignored
	close	
    
    $

Flames to comp.sys.hp please.

Any other suggestions?
