	I'm trying to get the Xtank (By T. Donahue) to work under HP 9000 model
800 but I can't get the game started.  When I select from the menu the standard
game, the game screen closes and a message "Alarm clock" is displayed on 
shell display.

	The man pages say the alarm sets a process's alarm clock, but what
does this mean in practice?  Anyone else encountered the same problem with
xtank?  We tried to compile xtank under Sun (haven't tried on a cloudy day yet)
and received a Bus error instead of the Alarm clock.  What's wrong?

	- Mika
