Try it with an `int'... 

the difference between pointers is in bytes/sizeof(pointed type)... so
it gives back always `1'.

Of course you could try casting the pointers to some unsigned type
large enough before subtracting them, but then how do you know how
much is ``large enough''? 

Use sizeof() and live in peace.
