+[Cody Boone Ferguson](/winners.html#Cody_Boone_Ferguson) fixed this for modern
+systems. It did not compile with clang because it requires the second and third
+args to main() to be `char **` but even before that with gcc it printed random
+characters. After fixing it for clang by changing main() to call the new
+function pain() (chosen because it's a paint that clang requires these args to
+be `char **` :-) ) with the correct args it now works. Thank you Cody for your
+assistance!
