I've got egg all over my face on this one.  I won't even offer much
of an excuse for this -- my misimpression arose from some kind of glitch
using a VAXC compiler (VMS 4.X) which definitely misparsed an expression
similar to

sizeof (char) - 1

but is definitely unambigous and should have the value 0.

My profound apologies.
