I found a solution for the problem I was having under SunOS.  I can get
the program compiled if I specify the source files, to gpc, but not if I
compile the files, and link them separately.  Should this be considered
to be a bug?


What I did, exactly:


engg2 fritz 647 ( stage2/util ) > !gp
gpc cutil.p space.p -x c vcf/*.c -o space.exe
space.p: In function `space':
space.p:114: warning: passing arg 1 of `Ustat' makes pointer from
integer without a cast

The following dumps core:
