Sirs,

I tried to compile the GNU groff with b17. In the configure script
I replaced /dev/null with /tmp/trash, so this error did not occure.
But there is an error in compilation which did not occure under b16.
The following subroutine which starts at line 424 gave an error:

const char *index_search_item::munge_filename(const char *filename)
{
  if (filename[0] == '/')
    return filename;
  const char *cwd = pool;
  int need_slash = (cwd[0] != 0 && strchr(cwd, '\0')[-1] != '/');  <-----
  int len = strlen(cwd) + strlen(filename) + need_slash + 1;
  if (len > filename_buflen) {
    a_delete filename_buffer;
    filename_buflen = len;
    filename_buffer = new char[len];
  }
  strcpy(filename_buffer, cwd);
  if (need_slash)
    strcat(filename_buffer, "/");
  strcat(filename_buffer, filename);
  return filename_buffer;
}

Here the error-list:

There seems to be something wrong in the Compiler. Any ideas?
