This has probably be answered before, but ...

I'm porting Icon 7.5 to a VAX running Ultrix 3.0. I choose the
"vax_ultrix" configuration file.

First, Ultrix doesn't like fopen(...,"rb") and fopen(...,"wb"), so I
changed them.

Now I'm running into memory allocation problems.  

When I run a program, iconx opens the icon-executable with fopen(...),
which apparetly calls malloc.  However, initalloc is not yet called,
so iconx aborts with a stratup error "malloc: static region not
initialized".

Has anyone solved this problem, and how? Are other problems to be
expected?

Thanks in advance.

	Johan
