Unipress 2.0 will dump core when trying to execute (users-login-name) or
(users-full-name) on a SUN running 2.0 SMI. The problem is that there is a
function called bind() defined in the file keymaps.c (invoked only on
bindings.c). As it turns out, bind(2) is also a 4.2 system call!

With SUN's 2.0SMI, the password file is in the distributed "yellow pages"
database and thus the system must access the network (doing a bind(2)). But
the linker obtains bind() from keymaps.c!

The fix is simply to re-name bind() to something else (I chose kmapbind()).
