Help!

I'm trying to compile mmdf2-43 & MH6.7.1 on a DEC
RISC based workstation 5000/200 running Ultrix v4.1
Both mmdf & MH compile ok (albeit w/misc. errors that the
compiler seems content with ignoring)

But 2 problems have surfaced:
1) inc & msgchk  don't work.  Both programs produce a
   segmentation fault (and sometimes a core dump)
   All other MH programs appear to function normally.

   During compiliation of the MH code, several times the
   error: "Warning: illegal pointer combination" shows up.
   I've tried compiling w/several different options set in the
   conf/MH file but alway have the same results.
   The compiler stop, is just give warnings..


2) the SMTP daemon won't run.  When the SMTP daemon is
   executed, it immediately quits with an error code "98".
   The network connection is operational as far as I can tell
   although I have not yet (but soon) connected the DEC to a
   ether backbone.  Hints?


Also, I've recently compilied this same code with same options on
a SUN running ver:4.1.1.  The SUN did not produce any of these
problems.  On the DEC, I tried to use the same options, except
that I removed options that directly referred to SUNOS.

Help & Hints would be appreciated.
