Fixed in mob.  The cause is the discrepancy in handling string vs. normal 
array initializers.  The former wasn't checking for the problematic 
situation.

(Note that TCC and GCC behave different with non-top-level flex array 
members: GCC accepts but discards initializers of these with a warning, 
TCC rejects them.  That's fine, flex array members are an extension.)


Ciao,
Michael.
