Is anyone successfully using nmake (fourth generation make from the
ATT toolchest) on a 4.3BSD system.  I dont think it makes any difference
but specifically, MtXinu 4.3+NFS.  I brought over the source code from
our 4.2 machine, compiled it and installed it.  No indications of any
errors so far.  However, when I run it I get one or two strange messages
and then it core dumps.  The messages are usually complaints about
"source for (insert module or include file here) has changed".  The only
changes that I have made to the source are fiddling with "MSGFD" to get
it to run correctly.

Before I pull my hair out from trying to track this down, has anybody ever
run into this before?  Any suggestions on what might be wrong?  Glenn, are
you out there?  Can you help me?

P.S. I dont think there is any possibility of an error in my makefile since
this same makefile runs succesfully on  a VAX running 4.2bsd, on a Sun
running 3.4 SunOS, and on a Pyramid 9820 running Osx 4.0.
