Last time I talked about this, we put it off to a difference in
library versions.  Unfortunately, it's happened again.  Imagine all
the following prefixed by "Mar 25 12:11:20 sadye vmunix:"

Ok, folks... a lot of people depend on this machine, so what can I do
to eliminate this problem?  Unfortunately, waiting is not an option I
have, since the disk space used by the sources will soon be occupied
by something else.  Will the new SunOS 4.1 support help?  If so, where
can I get it?

I've not heard of this sort of problem being reported by any other
users.  Hardware problem?  If anybody else has experienced an ATK
application apparently causing your machine to kick the bucket, please
send some e-mail my way.

It may indeed help. I'm in the middle of testing out the new code on a
SunOS4.1 machine.  If everything seems kosher, maybe you can beta-test
for me.
