- From /usr/lpp/bos/bsdport:
-
- 9.1. Derefencing NULL Pointers
-
- The word at memory location zero contains a zero.
- That means that code which has been incorrectly
- written to use a NULL pointer to represent a null
- string will work, but will not be portable to all
- UNIX operating systems, and may not work on future
- AIX systems.
-
- Hasn't anybody else read this?
