All I recall about pre 4.0 was that we were using SunOS 3.5 in '88. I'd
like to think 3.2 came out in '85 or '86--but memory isn't what it used
to be...

More research: first patch in Sun patch library:

	Patch-ID# 100001-01
	Keywords:       cc stack overflow local variable
	Synopsis: C compiler: stack overflow: too many local variables
	Date: 20-Apr-88

	SunOS release:
        	3.4, 3.5


Sun's bug database still contains bug reports going back to 3.2 (heck,
even 2.2 and 1.0) but none of them have dates ;(((
