  A friend of mine is running System III, but is not a member of USENET.
As such he asked me to relay the following problem for him so take my
interpretation with a grain of salt.

  He is trying to port System III to both 11/24's and 11/44's and in doing
so he was able to simplify an example to the following code in 'main.c'
of the kernel:

	printf("does 340224 = %d\n", (long) 340224);

  On the 11/24 this results in:

	does 340224 = 327684

and on the 11/44 the result is:

	340224 = 34012E

Notice also that the word "does" does not appear in the output.  Apparently
the problem can be traced to "lrem" in "math.s".  Any thoughts on this one
besides hardware finger pointing?
