On my DECstation 3100 running Ultrix 2.2, the "make test" failed in
"io.dup" (the output is below).  It appears that the cause is a failure
of ``fopen(dupout,">&STDOUT");'' or ``open(STDOUT,">&dupout");'' to
correctly dup the file descriptor.  Here's the output from "make test":

If the problem is not obvious to the author, I can debug it further, of
course.
