There is no uport 3.1 unix. The most recent version is 3.0e.1 which is a uport
internal version number. It is still based on at&t SVR3.0 just like all of the
previous uport 386 unix releases. No changes where made in the s5ialloc module 
by uport in the 3.0e.1 release. I beleive that at&t fixed it in there SVR3.1 
release.

BTW, Microport is not belly up and they do not take their phone off of the 
hook. At the moment, they are a bit short handed and there aren't enough
technical people to take care of the phones and a bbs system. Give them a
chance, they'll soon pop back to life.
