I just installed some basic parts of the Andrew system (namely messages) on
a Sun IPC (running SunOS 4.1.1) under X11R5, patchlevel 20. What annoys me
is that typing a national character (i. e. a German umlaut) in, say, ez
crashes the application. Is this regarded as usual behavior, could it be
due to my unusual installation, or did I miss anything in the
documentation? Everything else I tried in ez or messages seems to work.

	Same thing for:

Sun SS-670MP, SunOS 4.1.2, X11R5 PL17
Sun IPX, SunOS 4.1.2, X11R5 PL17
Sun IPC, SunOS 4.1.2, X11R5 PL17

	I need to recompile Andrew here, so I might see if tweaking
various compiling options might change anything.
