A couple of bugs in 3.0.1.10 patch level 44:

#! /usr/local/perl
# A big input file not terminated with a newline makes
# this program dump core, e.g. :
# echo -n "hi" | cat /etc/termcap - | this_prog
while(<>)
  {
   eof();
   eof;
  }


Also, in 'look.pl', the "dictionary order" flag, $dict, is
missing from the 'local(...)=@_;' statement.
