2.9BSD Termination codes (kafka)

Ah, you too.  I thought I was the only one.

First, the message is from make.  kafka returned an exit code of 138, which
means: bus error (10) + core dumped (128).  See EXIT(2) and WAIT(2) for
further enlightenment.

On the MITCCC 11/70, kafka seems to have lots of wild pointer references.
So far, it doesn't seem to be int/long confusion, nor does it seem to be
long names (though I had to change kn_nodenumber to kn_nodnumber to make
V7 cc happy).  If anyone else gets kafka to run on an 11, I'd be interested
in knowing what was wrong (and I'll mention it in net.sources.bugs if I
get it working, too).
