This is a lie. 2.9BSD csh may need overlays, but we've got two versions
running on our Version 7 PDP-11's with no overlays. Observe:
41024+1104+1498 = 43626b = 0125152b
49792+7310+3296 = 60398b = 0165756b
The first is a not very complete version, the second contains everything
except job control. Believe it or not overlays aren't a necessity in
this world (although they do make things convenient, they make them slow
too).

Yup, looks like less than 64k to me. This is a split i/d 11/70.
