Guntram,

I am not quite sure what has happened in the tickadj source, but in my
older copy that error message is inside '#ifdef sun' --- in fact, on
non-Suns it gives an error if you use the -p option. I am almost
certain that this is _not_ a local change.

There is a considerable amount of unnecessarily complex AUX hackery
involving the kernel namelist. I do not see the why there has to be a
differently named, but essentially identical list of offsets to use
with the AUX namelist --- it just leaves out K_DOSYNC and K_NOPRINTF,
and includes an **unused** X_V. The static initializer evidently
works, so why not just use '#ifdef' to get the right names in there?
There is no harm in looking for extra stuff, and if the "v" variable
really is necessary, it can be added to the global list and ignored on
all other systems.

Could the person that sent in the AUX changes enlighten us as to the
reasons? And where did the '#ifdef sun's go?

Can anybody confirm, by the way, that frobbing the kernel _noprintf
variable is interesting iff defined(sun)?
