If you're not running SCO, and you still have core dumps or memory
faults after the copyright notice comes up, check for a line in
uustatus.c that reads:
while(fgets(line, 510, in) != (char *)NULL)
and change it to:
while(fgets(line, 128, in) != (char *)NULL)
Earlier in the code, line is defined as a char of 128 positions.
Making this change will prevent the memory fault/core dumps.
This seems to work fine. :-)
