I just upgraded to SunOS 4.1.1 and I found some "bugs". 

When running the 2.5 version of Smalltalk-80 I have often messages such as
snapshot primitive failed due to platform. Sometime the snapshots are good 
sometimes they are not.

I still have old demo programs runnign in the 2.3 version (even 2.2).
These programs cannot be ported to 2.5 nor ported at all but contains 
valuable information which could be exploited.
When running the 2.3 image  I get the /usr/bin/setkeys not found error
which can be avoided by placing the /usr/old/setkeys file back in the 
/usr/bin directory. But then I get a Hangup message.

Is there a way to get around this bug or do I have to downgrade back to
4.0.3?
