ordinarily this should be answered via mail but recent discussions about
c.s.u unix prompt me to suggest that this is:
1) probably a failure on the part of the installer.
2) a rather unrealistic view of comp.sources.unix.
3) probably a rather unrealistic view of the world in general.

needless to say trn has worked fine here since august, both before and
after patch1.
