argle - sorry about that. As a side note, I wonder if other people
have noticed a problem with collect when you use -g0 on COFF systems;
an old (I think 1.35 had it, because I had to re-find the bug)
sdbout.c in g++ produced negative sizes for certain structs; this
caused COFF on the Encore multimax.  to barf. Do other people have
this problem? I've fixed sdbout.c & the patches will be in 1.36, but
I'm wondering if this is somethat that should be reported to Encore as
well.

here's a patch for MDT.
