I have brought 4.3 Reno up on a uVax with an
RD53 and a cdc xmd(ra81 emulation) There are some
small problems:

uda.c - now compares not only drive code but also 
        geometry against its tables and they are wrong for a rd53.

passwd.c - thinks the username is argv[0] instead of 1, so it works if you rename it to 
           the user name.

But I am having a bigger problem. It seems to trash a filesystem in some circumstances
to the extent that fsck can't fix it. I only have to run as root, and try to make
gnu emacs 18.55. Suddenly one of the directories disappears just looks like  somebody
unlinked it. Ok I run fsck on the filesystem and it acts just like that. It finds
some disconnected directories and so forth. But I never get the space back, I can't
delete the files from lost+found, and its downhill from there until I remake the fs.

Anybody seen this problem, a fix?
