UNIX System III is already ported to the PDP-11/44.  I did it about a year
ago and it has been made available to the world at large through AT&T in
Greensboro, NC.  You may want to contact them for the appropriate tapes
and documentation.  I also added an RK06/7 driver, fixed a bug (I think I
did) in the RL01/2 driver, changed the TE16 driver to work as a UNIBUS device,
and updated all relevant documentation (AT&T doesn't print these changes,
but they are in the machine readable form of the tape).

In relation to your question, I came accross the same problem, but that phase
of the project was changed such that the VAX-11/730 became the target machine,
so a solution was not pursued.  Since then, I've left Western Electric and
no longer have access to a PDP-11/44.

Internally, AT&T also has the Version 7 system I moved to the 44 and UNIX 4.0.
After that, I lost interest as has the Bell System in general with PDP-11s.
I should also state that the system did work well on the 44 (outside of the
problem indicated), but Berkeley 2.? for PDP-11s is a much more usable system
and I would prefer it wherever possible.
