Some 4.3's have sprintf() returning int, not char.  e.g. it returns
the resulting string length of the buffer being sprintf'ed into whereas
the older 4.3 (and all BSD's before that) return char * --the buffer
that was sprintf'ed into.  Be sure yours is set correctly -- I had
this problem at first.

If that's not your problem, please ftp the latest version from
ucbvax:pub/mushview.tar.Z and verify that you are still having
the same problem.  If so, then post as much specific info as you
can so that if others have had similar problems and recognize them,
they can inform and advise.
