If anyone really cares, the problem is that the SunOS 4.0.3 version of defines some mmap offsets in terms of NBPG (the page size of the machine you're compiling on (more or less)), which is bad because the SS-1 has a different page size than Sun-3s and other Sun-4s (4K instead of 8K). The 4.0.3c and 4.1 versions of this include file correctly define the mmap offsets, which are the same on all systems. > One more thing, How do I make my color Sun4(cgtwo) act as mono in > X11.
