On Sun3's, the file RNG.cc *must* be compiled with the -ffloat-store 
option. A comment in Dirk Grunwald's RNG.cc code explains why.
My apologies for not mentioning this anywhere in the installation
instructions.

While I am at it, here are the other known bugs in libg++-1.34.0:

1. CursesWindow (test23) fails on Sun3's and Sun4's under X-windows,
but not under terminal emulation or remote logins.  I have not yet
discovered why.

2. I incorrectly modified etc/Patmain.cc. Here are the diffs:

        if ( ! freopen ( argv [ 1 ], "r", stdin ) ) {

        Patricia_Trie Trie;

        Patricia_Trie Trie;

        }

        }

3. etc/gperf/stderr.cc contains improper intitializations. Here are the diffs:
