I looked at the code in m-intel386.h (since I kept being annoyed at the
rather large "load average" values that loadst returned). Sure enough,
there lots of magic in m-intel386.h that needed to be fixed.
I made some changes and recompiled loadst and now it returns exactly the
same values as the Xenix "w" command. Thanks, Nick!
