Me too. I've had so many other problems, that I almost forgot about
this one! What a pain!
It's amazing what Microport can get away with. If they fewer problems,
a lot of the stuff I'm not too worried about now would be a top priority.
With Microport, just getting it to work is top priority. "Little" problems
like malloc, floating point, csh bugs, etc. etc. don't seem very important
anymore.
