   io/fs..........FAILED on test 18

   I did do the undef of volatile in the config.sh file.  Is there
   anything else I should do?

The problem is an nfs bug.  .../hints/ultrix_4.sh advises ignoring the
error if using an nfs mounted filesystem.  It happened to me and to be
safe I copied the distribution to my decstation instead of having it
nfs mounted and sure enough the bug went away.  I was able to
reproduce the errors outside perl as well.
