The old sccs_id? That's broken too, because the thing expands out while
you have the file checked out. What you have to do is have something like this:

/* sccs_id="bozo.c 1.00.5.6 2/8/1998 (this put in by cron process) */
static const char * sccs_id="%W% %G% etc.";

The line above the sccs_id is expanded out as a comment by cron, so the version
the file has when you opened it is still apparant.
