Like, for instance, are you out there on the net Roger Hui?

I found my first one today.  I found it because I have not yet learned
which funny ascii symbols stand for which functions and so accidentally
applied #. (base value) to a character array when I meant to apply # and
got a "domain error" message followed by a bus error message and the unix
prompt.

This is on a Sun4 using a version dated October 3 from Waterloo.
