Uhhh. This portion of your patch works on Ultrix 2.0, (tolower() is in
libc.a), but under BSD4.[23] tolower has to be defined (it's a macro).

)"filter" prints bogus status messages, and will even occaisionally core dump
)on a BSD system (including Ultrix). Trace back to half-successful attempt at
)disabling the (bad) "tolower" macro definition in hdrs/filter.h.

# define tolower(c) (isupper(c)? (c - 'A' + 'a') : c)

seems to work.
