More to the point, if you just want the sources that have always worked
under 4.3, and you don't want to bring up half of 4.3-Reno's programs,
libraries, and kernel just to compile one tiny little utility, grab the
real 4.3 sources from gatekeeper.dec.com. Blessed be whoever at DEC
decided to preserve this bastion of compatibility.
