    It's because Gcc-3.x allows declarations to occur after statements,
    whereas 2.95 only allows declarations to occur at the beginning of 
    a block.  Traditionally C has only allowed declarations to occur
    at the beginning of a block.  It's either a GCCism or a C99 thing. 
    I think it's a dumb idea myself (gcc allowing declarations after
    statements), C is messy enough as it stands.  So its just as well
    that you fixed it :-)
