Has anyone tried to modify the source for GB3 to work on a SYS5r3.2?  I have
done it, but there are many "bugs" that I haven't been able to explain yet.

	1) Occasionally the system dies in one of the reports from
		rst().  The rd[0] usually contains something that
		resembles a path where the system pointer should be.

	2) I have had lots of floating point exceptions.  I keep fixing
		them and another pops up.  These mostly hit in reports
		or maps/orbits.

	3) I don't seem to get all the characters from the socket properly,
		quite often (almost always), the response prints over the
		command.  I have started putting:
			notify(Playernum, "\n");
		when I see one do it.  This seems to work, but I would
		guess is not correct.

Have any patches been sent out on the net.  All I have is the "virgin"
source from comp.sources.games.
