David Feynes reported Clam's alias/pipe bug, which has been known for
some time. Here's a one-line _hack_ which fixes it. I've tested it
and it appears to work, but it may have some side effects, I don't know.
Could David and as many others test this patch & report success/failure?!
The patch is to the Oct'89 posting of the source, i.e to the source as
it appears on plains/sirius/ccadfa.

P.S Note the crcs in the patch - I propose cdiff.c be changed to add
these. Votes for and against, please!

What about instead adding a line of the form: Crc: 23687 20924 oexec.c or just 23687 20924 oexec.c before the patch? Pam (1) looks for these & normal patch would ignore them. Andrew (1) Pam, patch for minix, a moronic rewrite of patch that 1. runs faster :-) 2. Doesn't have memory problems :-) but 3. has no fuzzy apply logic :-(
