I think it is the same bug I reported to ANU-NEWS when Geoff
submitted patches updating to version V5.9A.  I have
submitted a patch to PATCH in patch format to you Lenny, but
if others have the same problem then please mail me.  I do not
want to use net bandwidth for resubmiting old postings to
the entire list.  The patch does not correct the problem
that SYS!SCRATCH has to be on the same disk as the output
file.
