Surprise! *ALL* UNIX systems are based on Bell; if they're not, they're UNIX-compatible but aren't UNIX systems. 4.xBSD is based on UNIX/32V, which was a Bell release; you need a license from Bell to run 4.xBSD. UNIX/32V, in turn, was a VAX port of V7. *V7*, not any Berkeley release, introduced CBREAK. While we're at it, could we please send discussions of source to "net.sources.bugs"? It's easy to reroute discussions; your news poster should throw you into an editor, with the header lines in the file being edited. Just change "net.sources" to "net.sources.bugs" in the "Newsgroups:" line. Even better, put Followup-To: net.sources.bugs in all "net.sources" postings. That way, all followups (except those posted by obsolete news software which should be replaced) will go to "net.sources.bugs". -- Guy Harris {seismo,ihnp4,allegra}!rlgvax!guy

I ran into the same problems you did (long name and core dump with
patch on BSD2.9). Its scarry having a core dump in a 1700 line program
you know nothing about. With lots of print statements, I tracked it
down. Seems that the 2.9 compiler has problems with longs being
autodecremented within an array reference. The decrement takes place as
if it was an integer. Putting the decrement on the next line seems to
fix the problem. Here is a context diff (that you could apply if patch
worked!) for the core dump problem. The problem that I found was in
the routine another_hunk. Let me know of others.
