[ILUG] c puzzle...

[kevin lyda]

ok, this code will compile and work on fedora fc1.  it will fail to
compile on redhat 7.3.  why?

    #include <stdio.h>

    int
    main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        int i;;
        char *s = "hello world\n";

        for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            printf("%d %s", i, s);
    }

this was our puzzle this morning, and the answer is just three chars
long (and it isn't "bug" or "yes").
