>Description:
	Initializations like in sys/crypto/rijndael/boxes-fst.dat rev. 1.4
cause hard errors on a kernel "make lint".
(What triggers it seems the array within a union.)
>How-To-Repeat:
Here is a small test program:

union mist {
        char *p;
        int a[1];
};

union mist xx = {
        .a = { 7 }
};

Processing this with "lint -S" yields:
linttest.c(8): lint error: /usr/src/usr.bin/xlint/lint1/init.c, 165: popi2()

Replacing "union" by "struct" gives the same result.
