Please, we desperately need help fast!

Hi,

I am having trouble with getting PCL up on KCL here at Cal Poly, San
Luis Obispo.  This Signal 11 error is a segmentation violation, but I
don't know why (or where) it breaks.  Here is the configuration.

Running KCL (June 3, '87) on a Sun 3/50 with a file server (Sun 3/260?).  
SUN OS 4.0.3 

cc 1.103 (This is the C compiler that PCL is using, is there a way to
change that to use gcc?  We have the latest version of that.)

The machines only have 4 meg of RAM, and 10 meg of swap.  

I added the call to 
	(si:catch-bad-signals) 
before starting the compile of PCL, and I now get the following error
message.  Any suggestions are welcomed and greatly appreciated.
