    ups version 3.32 (build date: Thu Jun 18 12:00:27 PDT 1998)

I was trying out the suggestion in question 4 of the UPS FAQ
<http://www.concerto.demon.co.uk/UPS/upsfaq.html#4>, using the file
sample.c supplied with ups.

I used "add expr" in main to add this:

    (struct argst *)0x21dc0

but when I tried to expand it, ups said:

    Can't expand undefined structure

If I do the same in the stash function, it works fine.  This is what
the screen looks like:

   Functions
      main                                                     sample.c:18
         (struct argst *)0x21dc0            0x21dc0
      stash                                                    sample.c:13
         struct argst <a{0}>                *0x21dc0
            char <a_name{0}>                   "foo"
            struct argst *<a_next>             0x0
         (struct argst *)0x21dc0            0x21dc0
            char <a_name{0}>                   "foo"
            struct argst *<a_next>             0x0

Is it me is is it ups?

PS.  Here is sample.c, if you don't have it handy:

    struct argst { char *a_name; struct argst *a_next; };
    struct argst *listhead = 0;

    void stash(name)
    char *name;
    {
	struct argst *a;
	char *malloc();

	a = (struct argst *)malloc(sizeof(struct argst));
	a->a_name = name;
	a->a_next = listhead;
	listhead = a;
    }

    int main()
    {
	stash("foo");
	stash("bar");
    }
