I need to find references on the following Erdos problem.  I can't
seem to find any.  Does anyone know where work on this is published?

The problem is:

  Does any function f from the naturals to the set {-1,1} exist such
  that the finite sums

	 | f(0) + f(k) + f(2k) + ... + f(nk) |        k>0, n>=0

  are all bounded by a fixed number B?


Thanks in advance.

P.S.  I would greatly appreciate direct email, if possible.
