In my earlier article I had asked how to increase the size of /bin/sh, since
I had run out of stack space while running Elm's Configure script.  I got a
nice note from a gentleman at SCO who pointed me to the fixhdr program that
does exactly that.  Using fixhdr I created a /bin/bigsh with an 0x8000 stack
and now Elm's Configure script runs just fine!  Thanks, again, Sean!
