I'm sorry to inform all of you SunOS4.1 users out there that the
currently released version of (Andrew + patch.009) is broken.  The move
from SunOS4.0 ==> 4.1 was too much for the dynamic loading to bear. 
That's unfortunate, but the good news is that SunOS4.1 supports dynamic
loading and some good work was done by Guy Harris to get us there.  The
result of his effort  (and alot of other work)  will be part of
patch.10, soon to come out.  

In short, if you're planning on building Andrew on a SunOS4.1 machine,
please wait for the next patch.  It'll be well worth the wait.
