to fix the problem, remove the word "static" from the declaration
of SymTab on or about line 38 of stab.c.

this is due to a difference in the way arrays declared "static" are
handled by the different (berkeley vs. system v) compilers.  system v
compilers put static data into the data section of the code file
while static data goes into bss under berkeley.  sendmail's freeze/thaw
routines work by writing out and later restoring only the bss and
dynamically allocated sections of the executing image.  so the SymTab
wasn't saved and it was empty in the new core image.
