This one should be a snap for all you DNet-literate types out there...

I followed the installation instructions for the latest version of DNet (the
dnet.zoo on ucbvax.berkeley.edu in pub/amiga -*IS*- the latest version, 
right?) to the letter, or at least I _think_ I did.

Starts up with no problem...  I log onto my UNIX machine through the small
DNet window and execute dnet on the UNIX side of the connection.  The small
Amiga window disappears, a second or so passes, and...

The modem disconnects.  Examination shows that something (dnet, I'd bet)
dumped core all over my ~/.DNet directory, and the log is just cut off as
if it never knew what hit it...

I'm on a uVAX II running 4.3 BSD.  I actually had an earlier version (well,
another version, if the one I have now isn't the newest) running, but I saw
no useful function for it, so it vanished...  

Anybody know what's going on?  I'm most definitely not debugger-literate,
although I suppose it could be some configuration problem with the dnet
program.  Hell, I dunno.  Right now, I'd try about anything.

Thanks in advance...
