I know that. I wasn't going to muck around recreating an array that should be
arounf somewhere anyway. I knew I wouldn't use any "indent" flags that worried
about upper or lower case and the compiled code runs fine for me, indicating
that the islower() call is never made.

Still, I'm yet to find out where _ctype_[] is and why the linker can't find it.
