This still works right on FreeBSD-stable and Linux (Debian-1.3). The
sizeof() gives the correct answer for the size of the foo array that
is compiled into the library, even if the library is run with a binary
that was linked against a library with a different size for foo. Test
case appended, see the 'make run' target.
I didn't see anyone posting a piece of code to show the problem, maybe
I overlooked something?
