Three gripes:
    Neither the sizes nor the crc of the recently posted compress.c, ed.c,
    and sed.c posted match those given in Dr. Tanenbaum's posting ``Checksums
    and sizes of complete 1.3 distribution''.   Which are the *real* 1.3
    sources?

    amoeba/kernel/dp8390stat.h arrived here corrupt; it's smaller than
    either the shar file or your posting say it should be.  Exactly the
    same thing happeded to the 1.3b posting; the two files are identical.
    (vol.c arrived here corrupt too, but I'm ignoring that since I already
     have one that matches the definitive CRC listing.)  Is this just
    happening to me, or would a uuencoded version of dp8390stat.h be
    useful to others?

   The patch (relative to 1.2) for lib/regexp.c seems to be a retrograde
   step, when compared to an "ordinary" 1.3c lib/regexp.c (ie, one whose
   CRC matches that in the prelimilary CRC listing posted with the CRC
   program).   Changing "<stdio.h>" to "../stdio.h" can't be right, can it?


And one questions:
   Like Vincent Broman, I'm having problems with fsck.  I think it's
   because the 1.2 fsck.c I'm starting with is botched.  Sum and crc of
   it are:
	% sum fsck.c
	19353    23 fsck.c
	% crc fsck.c
	00735  46061 fsck.c
   Could someone please confirm that these are wrong?
