On the Vax 6.3B packs, saber-c 2.1 has a bug. Even after setopt ansi,
automatic variables cannot be initialized to structures:
"tty_filter.c":198, convert_desc_to_tty_str_info(), Automatic initialization (Er
ror #332)
197: {
198: tty_str_info current_mode = { NULL, "", 0, 'l', 0 , 0};
^
199: tty_str_info *temp;
The '{ ... }' construction cannot be use with automatic aggregates.
GCC will compile without error, and K&R Mark II explicitly allows this
on page 219, also stating that this was a new feature in the ANSI
draft.
