[comp.text.tex] Erroneous TeX3.0 output on Ultrix 4.0

hsong@nvuxl.UUCP (g hugh song) (12/16/90)

I recently installed TeX3.0 on DecStation 3100 and 5000 running Ultrix
2.2 and 4.0, respectively, (both with "-O2") and encountered a strange problem.
On Dec Station 3100 with Ultrix 2.2(cc1.31), everything was OK, while
on Dec 5000 with Ultrix 4.0(cc 2.0), on every occurrence of 

		"\( some_math \)" or "$ some_math $", 

TeX (or LaTeX) processes it 
erroneously putting "some_math" far to the right of the line (leaving
a lot of white space before "some_math") and skipping
the remaining paragraph until a new paragraph begins.

The tex file I processed is one of the distribution tex files, i.e.,
"local.tex".   So it is not an error in my tex file.  I think it is
Ultrix 4.0 or cc 2.0 problem.

Has anyone experienced the same thing?  Has anybody reported this
behavior before and posted a fix?

How about TeX3.1?  Do you Ultrix users have the same problem?
I've got TeX3.1 in a data cartridge which is not usable with TK50 drive.

Please help me.  I need to have real job done other than software
installation.

Please email.  Thanks.
