I have installed Icon 7.5 on a Sun 4 workstation, and run into some
problems. The operating system is SunOS 4.0.3c, the installation was
done by Bill Mitchell on November 22, 1988. 

After the installation, I ran the full test suite, and the gc2 and
checking tests apparently did not pass.  In addition, this port does
not support overflow checking or co-expressions.

Are these known problems, and is there a more recent port to the Sun 4
which supports overflow checking and co-expressions?

			Thanks,
				Eric
