I found a small bug in "users" that exists in Ultrix v2.0 and v2.2.  The
program dumps core if you have more than 128 people logged in.  The fix
is trivial.

Of course, you could be really ambitious and put in a "real" fix involving
dynamically allocated memory and so on, but....

Don't forget to relink /usr/ucb/users to /usr/ucb/u when you reinstall.
