	...like it says...

While we are posting fixes for lint, here is an amusing one:

In the lpass2.c file around line 499 (depending on your version of
lint) there is:

	if( (t=BTYPE(pt1->aty)==STRTY) || t==UNIONTY ){

suggested change:

	if( (t=BTYPE(pt1->aty))==STRTY || t==UNIONTY ){

If you have the following chdir call in a C file, svr2 lint does not
complain about the type mismatch, however, bsd 4.2 lint flags it
correctly.

	chdir('/');
