*strange*.

can you tell me how the following command behaves on your system?

echo 'argpos ( ( ( ( ( SCM ) ( ( ( const scm_bits_t * ) ( ( SCM_CELLPTR ) ( ( ( 
scm_bits_t ) ( * args ) ) ) ) ) [ 0' | sed -e 's/^argpos.*[(\[].*//'

it is supposed to eat everything.  it does so on my Linux system at
home and on the Solaris 2.5.1 and HP/UX systems at work.  is the sed
incantation I use somehow non-portable?

many thanks,
