  Though I am not real happy with the problems I have had compiling it
on a 3B2 (System V release 3.2.1), I fail to see how you can totally
blame the machine or the compiler - Remember it was written on a different
machine with its own quirks that the authors were able to fix for you.
As is noted in the documentation, the program has not even been tested
by the authors on a 3B2.

  Yeah, but I wouldn't mind having a little discussion with the compiler
writers for the 3B2 to find out exactly who is wrong...
