Great post. I especially liked the suggestion of adding a comment
containing the file name on each additional page.
Gotta agree though, it's best just to post these errata/bugs on a
website available for printing instead of reprinting the entire book
unless there is new material. Especially since most move on to learn C
or other more commonly used languages.
It is an excellent book, and probably should be listed as one of the
most important books for required reading for Linux users, along w/
K&R. ;-) ... K&R just doesn't make sense without this book. ;-)
BTW: I found the mistakes trivial and required the learner to think when
finding the source of the problem or bug. Similar to real world job
scenarios!
