One reason that Andrew has not taken over the world is that
it a bit too much to deal with on a casual basis.  You either
are very comfortable with the world of `class' and `runapp',
or else you are all at sea.

A case in point: I am trying to build Andrew and (especially)
AMS/Messages on a SPARC machine running SunOS 4.1.  The results
are not encouraging.  `messages' coredumps during initialization
(~Initializing Internal Message Server...").  A core dump from
runapp is a mysterious thing, and I have no idea to find out
just where it died.  VUI also coredumps with a segmentation
violation when I select the "Folder" option.  Here is the
stack backtrace from adb:

 _BuildPrivateSubscriptionMap(0x0,0xb6218,0x0,0x1d,0xf7ffc89d,0x0) + c8
 _MS_NameSubscriptionMapFile(0xb6204,0xb6218,0x0,0x0,0xd61b0,0x2f) + 408
 _GenMapFileName(0x0,0x1,0xf7ffea04,0xf7ffee0c,0x0,0xc22c8) + 1f8
 _LoadOneDirPage(0x0,0x0,0xffffffff,0x0,0xd9dd0,0xf7ffee70) + f0
 _InitDirData(0xf7fff230,0xf7fff227,0x1,0x0,0x1,0x0) + 184
 _InitDirPanel(0xf7fff230,0xf7fff227,0x1,0x0,0x1,0x0) + 18
 _Dir_Panel(0x0,0x0,0x1,0x0,0x0,0xf7fff230) + 84
 _vuimain(0x1,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0) + 238

Our sources are patched to level 5.  I would be grateful for any
help.
