I sent some code over to an AT running Microport XENIX 1.3 ... when using the
-Ml (large) model the following crashed and burned...

main()
{
	char *a_pointer;

	a_pointer = "some static data";

	puts(a_pointer);
}

However, when I change a_pointer to "static char *a_pointer" it works.  Why?

Thanks,
Jon
