	I pulled down the 4.0 kit to this DECStation 5400 today, and
tried compiling it -- no problems there, but I got the following errors
on test:

Script started on Fri Mar 22 14:39:00 1991
% make test
 cd t && chmod +x TEST */*.t
 cd t && (rm -f perl; ln -s ../perl .) && ./perl TEST </dev/tty
[ OK test results deleted ]
op/eval........FAILED on test 9

lib/big........Bad free() ignored at ../lib/bigint.pl line 65.
../lib/bigint.pl did not return a true value at ./lib/big.t line 2.
FAILED on test 0
Failed 3 tests.
*** Error code 9 (ignored)
script done on Fri Mar 22 14:40:02 1991

	Here is the spec for compiling it:

make.log.22mr:cc -c -DLANGUAGE_C -O -Olimit 2900  eval.c
make.log.22mr:cc -c -DTAINT -DLANGUAGE_C -O -Olimit 2900  teval.c

	Any ideas?
