Following are some diffs for fixes to the sources delivered with the
ATARI ST release of MINIX. They probably apply to the IBM PC releases
as well:

commands/date.c:
88a89
>   days_per_month[1]=28;

This fixes the problem with setting the date (particularly after having
set it once already).

commands/pr.c:
148a149,150
> 		int line, col;
> 
155a158,160
> 		for(line=0; line < length; line++)
> 			for(col=0; col < columns; col++)
> 				L_BUF(line, col) = NIL_PTR; 

This initializes the malloc array so that selecting the column option
doesn't clobber the command.

lib/strncpy.c:
13c13
<   *s1 = 0;
---
>   while (--n >= 0) *s1++ = 0;

Strncpy() was simply wrong going by the documentation at my disposal; it
always null terminated the string even when the length was too short,
and didn't fill the uncopied part with nulls when the length was too long.
