Because you tried the compiler that allows this. It does not make the 
code any more correct, though.

As far as I remember, the aCC compiler on HP-UX barks on it, but I'm not 
  sure about my memory and cannot check it right now. If you have access 
to this compiler, please try it.

Except when the compiler is already used to support a big mass of broken 
code, yes.
