[ Another typically enlightening response from P. Honeyman. ]

In a prior message, Rick Adams says that AT&T doesn't ship this
bug-free(er) version of HDB. Who do we believe?

The question was "how do binary sites get the updated HDB?"
What I would like to know is: Can a source licensed (SVr3.1)
site obtain the updated version, or obtain a set of diffs?

If the answer is yes, it would be nice if someone could provide some
sort of AT&T part number. SCCS version numbers of the updated code
would also be helpful.
