I've applied the fix; unfortunately, I can't try it yet, since my copy
of the 900117 patch has disappeared. As soon as I finih patching, I'll
let you know how it does.
BTW, you might take the note about System V/AT 2.3 out of there; the
problem in offsetof() appears in 2.4 as well, and is probably generic to
the Microport 286 products.
The fast stdio stuff fails the test on my system as well.
