basic string (fwd)

[Parag Mallick <parag at mbi dot ucla dot edu>]

Hello,
	A friend had trouble with a link error in the following code. The
bug is interesting because it is alpha only.  The code compiles and runs
under redhat linux 5.1.  I have attached a tar file of a minimal not
compiling unit.  Simply type make.

The problem occurs under alpha:
OSF1 DEC Alpha, Digital Unix 4.0B

With Versions 1.1.1 and Experimental gcc version egcs-2.93.13 19990321
As I cannot get 1.1.2 to compile on alpha (failure during stage 2) I have
not tried compiling the program with 1.1.2 on alpha. It compiles fine with
either 1.1.2 or egcs-2.93.13 19990321 on a dual processor PII running
Redhat 5.1
