When I do I restart a dump created using the dump error without a label,
I get a Bus Error, although when using 'perl -u' or supplying an
arg, like 'dump RESTART;', it's fine.  Does this happen on any
other systems?  I happen to have used the already-ported GNU unexec() 
routine for my dump operator rather than porting undump.c, so this
may be the difference, but I'd like to check other people's behaviors
before a final diagnosis.  If no one else has the problem, I may just
have to devote a weekend to porting undump to our bizarre a.out format.
