    A warning, though I suspect its been discovered many times.
    The header file <sys/stat.h> that we got with Aegis SR9 CC is
    wrong.  stat(3)  (BSD4.2 version) returns a few more words
    of data than the header file leaves room for.  Nasty.

This does seem to be a point of confusion.  The problem here is that
the sysV and bsd4.2 versions of stat() return two different structs.

In general, you have to use the right set of include files when you
compile your program.  This will happen automatically unless your
/usr/include has been corrupted.  In your case, I suspect that you
installed domain/ix first, then later installed the C product, which
wiped out your include files.  The correct order is C first, then
domain/ix.  This ought to be spelled out in the release notes.
