So have I, but the problem is that people are confusing the bug that
causes *perl* to drop core with another bug that causes "sh" to drop
core.  If people want to discuss the latter bug, I suggest they:

	1) remove the "was: perl 3.0 dumps core" from the subject line,
	   since the bugs are almost certainly unrelated (the "perl" bug
	   is due to a problem with "vfork", and "/bin/sh" doesn't use
	   "vfork")

and

	2) take it to a different group, e.g. "comp.sys.sun", since Sun
	   hasn't decided to risk the wrath of AT&T's legal department
	   and post the sources to its version of the S5R3.1 Bourne
	   shell to any of the "{alt,comp}.sources.*" newsgroups.

In other words, remove said discussion from *this* thread.
