+----------------
| The rule in my team is "make the code pass lint completely or else
| explain why it can't possibly".

STANDARD RESPONSE:

Is it reasonable that I should have to write:

	char *foo = "/tmp";
	chdir(foo);

instead of

	chdir("/tmp");

just to satisfy lint?  It gets impossible to trace through the garbage
our lint puts out.  (Before you tell me to fix lint, give me a Xenix
source license.)
