Yup. The C compiler goes bye-bye on any unsigned long or int cast that
references either an array or a pointer. 

Given legitimate definitions any of the following will hang the C compiler
on the 386i.

	l = (unsigned long) ptr->value;
	i = (unsigned int) ptr->value;
	l = (unsigned long) array[index];
	i = (unsigned int) array[index];

This is with the 4.0.1 release of SunOS on a 386i/250.
