The bug fix you probably care most about is this one:
	In getblock() near the beginning, change

		if (lastb != 0 && lastb->b_bno == bno)
			return lastb->b_buf + off;
to
		if (lastb != 0 && lastb->b_bno == bno) {
			lastb->b_dirty |= iof;
			return lastb->b_buf + off;
		}

That caused major damage to buffers in very unpredictable ways.

I plan to send out updates for the mod.sources posting of JOVE in
a few days (now that I have a little time).  You might want to look
at those, too.
