<sigh> I tried, but cannot duplicate this here. There are some problems
with AIX 4.2.1, but pragma/overload is not one that I'm seeing.

On 4.3.2, things pass with flying colors.

I really, really am suspicious of your development tools. Which compiler
are you using? What level?

XLC version 3.1.4. It's really old.

FYI- I upgraded my machine to AIX 4.3.3 and VAC (XLC?) 5.0, and I now
get a clean 'make test' with 5.6.0. The old compiler must have been
hosing me.

Now that I have that fixed I need to figure out why I get a core dump
every time I use Quota.pm...

Thanks for your help.

old compiler needed upgrade
