Jim Rosenberg recently posted the following code fragment, demonstrating
bugs in lint on the Altos Series 2000 running Xenix System V/386 v5.2c:

#include <stdio.h>

struct shmoo {
	int whoo;
	char noo;
};
extern struct shmoo *scroo;

char *foo()
{
	(void) fprintf(stderr, "I don't believe this!\n");
	return (char *) scroo;
}

If it's of any help to you, both problems (complaints about the char * cast
and arg. 1 to fprintf) are fixed on systems shipping today with Altos
System V/386 v5.3b.  [Actually it was fixed in v5.3a, but that shipped only
with the Series 1000.]

Also, if you'd care to drop me a line about the other bugs in utilities 
that you mentioned in passing, I'd like to make sure they've been fixed
in the current release as well.
