When we compiled the asteroids program here we found a few strange
behaviors. We have both color and b&w sun2's and color sun3's running under 4.2BSD
Unix. the program seems to run perfectly fine on the b&w machines. It doesn't 
even have the random death problem that is in the README file. On a color 
machine if you rotate any significant amount you disintegrate and when you fire
the shots travel a VERY short distance (< 1/2 inch: this makes it VERY HARD to
hit anything).

Has anybody else seen this problem and if so are there any fixes available. If not
I will attempt to muck around in the code myself (needs more comments) and post the
fixes when I have them.
