Hence my question. :)  I did, however, try a similar piece of code on 5
seperate compilers, all of which found no fault with said code.  It's not a
big deal and, as you pointed out, is easily avoidable, but I didn't know if
it was an indication of a larger issue that would manifest itself in
not-so-obvious places.  It's not a big deal, but I thought I would at least
point it out.
