Odd.  I use gcc-1.35, on a 3b1 with 3.51a.  I got the "virtual memory
exhausted" message on a couple of files, which I compiled by hand without
-O.  Test 3 of op.mkdir failed because PERL is at the mercy of the 
OS' handling of errors and cannot interpret the error from mkdir.

Nothing else failed.
