This is a gotcha that I don't think anyone's posted a note about.  The shar
files try to include zero length proto.h files in a couple of directories.
The shell misses the here-document-end line, and sucks up the rest of the
next here-document into proto.h.

If you look at proto.h in kernel and fs, you'll find that they contain other
files (I don't remember which ones).  Unpack them, do a

		rm proto.h ; touch proto.h

to get the proper, zero length proto.h file in kernel and fs, and your
problem goes away.

Watch out for the binary files in the shell and make shars -- the 1.3 shell
silently dies when you try to unpack them, and you need the patches that come
after the binary files.  I THINK you can edit out the binary files with elle.
