Internal compiler error 378 in egcs-1.1.2

[John F. Woods]

I'm pretty sure the code being compiled is incorrect (the function
FindLockStructure below gets declared with a bogus type because there's no
forward declaration of struct DLockOffset, thus it's a useless private
type), but the internal compiler error message isn't the best way to abuse
the coder in question...  ;-)
