Yes.  I think this would be very rare in modern code, depending on an
implicit type, int, following a specifier such as "register".  At least,
I hope so!

This was actually quite tricky to fix.  As well as "register", the code
should now handle the implicit int following (all of the?) other
specifiers, too.

Would you please try out the attached patch on your real code, and let
me know how well it works.  Thanks!
