I was able to compile, test and install 4.0.beta on a DecStation 3100
running Ultrix 3.1 in about 2 hours.  (I took off time for class :)

It passed all the tests excetp in io/fs.t test 5 - anding the $mode with
777 to get 666 (what does this do - does it check for r/w permission for
everyone, but not execute?).  This was on an NFS mounted partition - on
the local hard-drive, it worked fine....
