I don't think this one satisfies the original request to turn the
sample into a "correct C program". The original code is much more
correct than your solution:)

Nevertheless it works (despite of gcc complaints). I think it's
because the pointer to int is unsigned, so negating it results in a
big positive number.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
