No...you're using HP's C ... Ken's referring to either of the
two (?) C compilers for the Classic 3000 (or for CM use on the current 3000).

HP C (including c89) and gcc are for the current PA-RISC based HP3000.

Here's what happens when you run something like your test
with the CCSC C compiler (for the Classic HP 3000, or for CM on
MPE/iX)...  (minor changes, including printing the "good" char ptr
first, then the "bad" char ptr)
