Bug in indent.

[Duncan C White]

Greetings,

	I have found a bug in indent.. I hope this is the right place
	to report it.  If it matters, it was on a Sun 3 running SunOS
	4.0.3..

	It appears that indent is quite happy to rewrite '=!' as '!='
	if you omit a space between the = and the !

	Here is a little program which shows the problem:

		/*
		 * Try running this, then run it through indent
		 * and run it again!
		 */

		#include <stdio.h>

		main()
		{
			int x = 0;

			printf("before: x=%d\n", x);
			x=!x;
			printf("after: x=%d\n", x);
		}

	Before running indent, the program correctly prints 0 followed by 1.
	After running indent, the program prints 0 followed by 0 (!)
	On examination, this is because the x=!x line has been rewritten as:

		x != x;

	[ie. compare x against itself, and then discard the result]

	I know the manual page says that indent has a "forgiving parser" but
	really!  A parser that rewrites your program for you?

	NB: This problem was "enhanced" :-) by lint, which did not flag x != x
	as suspicious.
