That was my guess, too. I also want to point out that 0177776 ==
0xfffe. IMO this being near an obvious binary boundary would further
support the theory that it's a control register of some kind.
Interesting bit of C history, Steve; thank you for that tidbit.

e.g.
"0177776->int =| 300"
The number on the
left is a PDP-11 address, probably for some kind of control register.
