I've been having some trouble with Andrew patch level 10 on
SunOS 4.1.1.  The pertinent stuff:

	SunOS 4.1.1
	SPARCstation IPC
	X11R4 server (Xsun) on a color (cgtree) monitor

There are several problems.  First, with compiling:

	When compiling tabs.do, the doindex command fails with
	the message
doindex: indexing tabs.do ...ld.so: map heap error (9) for /dev/zero
	It is interesting that I can run doindex on all the
	individual .do files and I get no errors.

	I have the same trouble with the console tool:
/local/andrew/bin/doindex -d /local/andrew/dlib/atk  consolea.do
doindex: indexing consolea.do ...ld.so: map heap error (9) for /dev/zero


So I go without the console and I try some of the tools.  The
first problem I notice is that when I try to use a menu, the
cursor (the -> cursor) is wrong.  It is displayed as a white
box with a transparent arrow.  It seems that the X cursor mask
bits are reversed.

Last problem (for today):  typescript doesn't work.  It didn't
work before patch 10, but patch 10 at work (4.1 on a SPARCstation 1)
does work.  The symptoms are the same as before patch 10:  The
child process (usually /bin/csh) dies immediately (sometimes after
printing the prompt.


I am having none of these troubles on a SPARCstation with the X11R4
server (Xsun), a monochrome monitor, and SunOS 4.1.  I am frustrated.
It is teasing me!
