[fa.info-vax] VMS 4.2 problems

1) During the upgrade on a R80/RA81 system, the minimum upgrade did not
spot the RA81 - which was a bear, as it's the user disk.  I had to go
into sysgen and connect the device... I think that the distribution notes
are af on that one.

2) There is a BIG bug in the math rtl (it seems).  Several Theoretical
Chemistry (read crunchers in F77) programs crashed and burned on calls to
the EXP functions.  When I reverted to V4.1 (aren't backups neat?), there
was no problem.  I hope to call Dec on this one...
