Below is a simple code segment that I was trying to use on a Mac+ using
LSC 3.0.  The problem is that the printed value of ptr never increments.  It
always stays the same!  I move this code over to a Sun4 and it works as one 
would expect!  What gives?  Anyone else run into this problem?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unix.h>
#include <storage.h>
main()
{
	char 	*ptr;
	int	max= 400;
	
	if ((ptr= (char *)malloc(500)) == NULL){
		fprintf (stderr,"ERROR: malloc() \n");
		exit();
	}
	while (max--)
		fprintf (stderr,"ptr= %d\n", ptr++);
		
}
