	I guess that I forgot to include that I'm running the DOS-Merge Kernel.
	[3.0e - Unlimited] With a Digi-Board 8 port Int. Comm. controller.

On a Compaq 386/20 if that matters...  It consistantly does this..
And I have 13 things defined....(Does this matter??)

Also, It would be nice if U-Port would compile ALL programs that use floating
point under gcc so that THEY WOULD WORK!!  (Awk fails on my machine - Dumps
core).. Specific to the Compaq I'm told...Any chance I can get a floppy with
all system utilities recompiled using gcc?  (Any floating point in the kernel?
[I doubt it, but then who knows?.. DOS-Merge is rather slow...]
