Subject: More on memcpy() and related bugs

As we know, the version of memcpy() released with Sozobon fails
because the btst instruction is assembled improperly.  Note the
following routines call memcpy():

	initargs() (part of startup IFF XARG is used)
	lsearch()
	qsort()

so you must install a fix to memcpy() before any of these will work.

Furthermore, lmemcpy() and bzero() have the same bug, and realloc()
calls lmemcpy().  If they matter to you, it's no big deal to write
(slow) versions in C.  Dale Schumacher is said to be working on
official fixes.
