Until recently we were running rn 4.3 (4.3BSD baseline release) on one
of our VAXen running Ultrix 3.1, which worked fine.

Then we obtained the source for NNTP and RN at PL 48, and installed
RRN on all our other machines (Suns and VAXen). This works fine.

However, when I compiled the same source as RN to use on the machine
which runs our news software, it compiled fine, but evertime I try
to start it, I get a "Caught a SIGILL ... newsrc restored" and the
process hangs until sent a ^\.

Applying patches 49 and 50 does not make any difference to this
phenomenon.

Has anyone observed this and/or have any ideas where I might start
looking for the problem?
