If you are running version 3.3.1 or 3.3.2, you also need to add the
following lines to src/config.h:

        /* Irix 3.3 defines this. I think it's neccessary for Epoch, too */
        #define HAVE_GETWD

If you are running version 3.3, you should upgrade to 3.3.1 or 3.3.2 (an
incompatibility was introduced in 3.3 that was "corrected" in 3.3.1).
