I have hit on two noticable bugs so far:
1) fix with the diffs applied occasionally just stops mid file... I used
chmem and gave it as much stack as I could-- no help. No message is
printed and I have not attempted to debug so all I can say is to stick
with the v(1.2) fix. The file was ls.c.diff by the by-- is would toss
about the last 30 lines.
2) ar no longer matches file names of the full 14 characters... so if
you "ar r arc.a doprintf.c.dif" you get a cute problem-- "ar t arc.a"
yields doprintf.c.diff as a member but things like "ar x arc.a
doprintf.c.dif" claim that doprintf.c.dif is not in the archive.
looks like a fence post error in the match routine, but I have not yet
checked. Again ar v(1.2) does not have this problem.

I am very busy trying to get the rest of 1.3 going. Thanks. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)
