In test6.c two calls to sbrk have their argument cast to (char *), delete
these casts and recompile. This makes test6.c test sbrk as specified and the
test now succeeds, while you're at it initialise errct to 0 inside main and
increment it inside the error logging routine. A bigger problem:

- I carried on to check out tests 20, 21 - test20 failed with a core dump.
- I tried using fsck to check /dev/ram and it also core dumped (on fd0 also).
- I rebooted and ran fsck immediately after logging in - it core dumped.

	** fsck had worked before patch24 was installed **

Just for the hell of it I ran the 1.5.0 fsck under ST1.1 minix and it worked
fine. Can anyone else confirm these observations - does anyone have a fix? I
think I've already applied all published fixes to 1.5.0 (e.g. lib.h and
getdents/dir.h).

BTW, also under 1.5.0/24 ls core dumps when it hits an empty directory.
