Thanks for looking into this Steve and Anders.  When this happens,  
please verify that the initializer also gets the appropriate type.   
Specifically, there should be an implicit cast from pointer to char to  
an array of char, and the type of that cast needs to have the  
appropriate array size.

Thanks for diving in Steve,
