I think this is a result of the Ultrix cc dating from the period when void
had been added with the meaning of "ignore the return of this function" or
"this function doesn't return anything".  The added notion of a pointer to
void being a universal pointer and other niggling details came later.

Of couse DEC should upgrade their compiler to support such new wave notions,
or do they expect to use vcc in place of the default compiler?  You did
file an SPR, right?
