	I am trying to install postnews, readnews, etc. (version 2.11) on 
an SGI running IRIX System V Release 3.2.3 (or 3.3.1).  I can get it to 
compile all of the way through but when I go to run postnews it gives me a:

 segmentation fault (core dumped)   message.  

I have tried many different compilation options and flags and have changed 
the defs.h file many times.  I am just not sure what to try next.  I have
already compiled these sources for our Sun, and DEC machines. If somebody
has compiled this on the SGI, I would sure like to see possibly a Makefile
and/or a defs.h file.  I can supply more info if needed.
