I've been trying to install patches 19..28 on a DECStation 3100 and it's
failing TEST in op.eval #7 and op.search #40,41,42.  I went back and
recompiled [t]*{toke,eval}.c with -Olimit set to 3000 as CC had complained in
these modules (there may have been others that I also recompiled).  It still
didn't help.  I gather from catching the tail end of a discussion here that
all is not well with the optimizer in the DECStation 3100 camp.

Could someone fill me in on what needs to be done to get the newer version
working?  I'd be really grateful.

Thanks,
Pat.
