We just upgraded to Ultrix V3.0 (Rev 64) and the Xinu compiler no longer
seems to work.  We believe the problem is in the assembler (which either
core dumps or produces unreasonable code, depending on its mood).  Most
of the problems appear around calls to stdio macros or functions.

We are running the compiler associated with these versions of Xinu:

	6.6 (05/22/84)
	7.6 (01/13/87)

By patching together pieces from both, we can get small programs to
compile.

If you have either had similar troubles or are running Xinu on Ultrix V3.0
without problems, please let us know.
