Yet more PCC bugs (4.2BSD)

Even more fun...  The following program shows how to declare arguments
in a unique way:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
double x( a ), y( b ), z( c );
double d()
	double a, b, c;
{
	return a + b + c;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A similarly obscene program produces the plaintive warning 'bad arg
temp':

------------------------------------------------------------------------
double x(), y(), z();
double d()
	double x, y, z;
{
	return x + y + z;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

PCC has almost as many bugs as the C-shell,
