epoch 3.2b, decstation 5000/200, ultrix 4.0 (rev. 174), uws v4.0 (rev. 164).
used m-pmax.h, s-bsd4-3.h to build it.
the stripped file, installed with "install -c -s", is /usr/local/bin/epoch.
it dies with
/usr/local/bin/epoch: Bad address.
or
Out of memory.
most of the time, when run just as is. But curiously when I do
cat /etc/motd; /usr/local/bin/epoch
is seems to work most of the time. Another way to reliably get it
to work is to launch it in its own subshell, i.e.
(/usr/local/bin/epoch)
and that works.
the unstripped file "/usr/src/gnu/epoch-3.2/src/epoch" runs fine most of
the time, but (i think) it can be convinced to fail.
I guess this begs the question, how do I send in an SPR ?
