Problem solved.  (Thanks to the gentleman from Milwaukee who called and
left a message on my answering machine - sorry I missed your name).

It turns out that Configure wants to include -lmalloc alnog with -lndbm
among the optional libraries.  The two are incompatible.  HP supplies
two DIFFERENT mallocs - the optional one in libmalloc.a.

Solution:  either edit out the -lmalloc in the Makefile or use Larry's.

Larry's works fine.
