| ./argle: Segmentation violation -- Core dumped
+---------------

If you use large model you have to include an "extern char *getenv();", or
tgetent() will get a truncated pointer:  C passes an undeclared function
argument as an (int), which is 2 bytes, but a large-model (char *) is 4
bytes.  This is an example of a gratuitous 680x0/Vax-ism, nonportable to
systems where sizeof (int) != sizeof (char *).

The core dump occurs when tnamatch() tries to access the string passed to
it, and gets a pointer with a random value.
