Yes, I can confirm your problems. I encountered them when trying to compile
`clam', which I think is large in the sense of your definition. Running the
program immediately crashes the whole system! I get messages about three
signals, the first and third beeig send to the `clam'-process, the second
to pid 0.
For testing I inserted the following two lines as the first statements in
`main':
  fprintf (stderr, "clam started.\n");
  exit (0);
Result: see above.

I tried the old and the new `cv' (posted as binary by Johan W. Stevenson in
Nov 88). Makes no difference at all.

I hope that one day we will get Sozobon-C for Minix-ST. Does anyone know
about the status of the port? In the documentation (dated Oct 88) the authors
of Sozobon-C say that they are (or someone is) working on it.
