The following script says pretty much everything I think:

bash$ uname -a
ULTRIX rutland 4.2 0 RISC
bash$ cat > a.c
main() {vfork();pause();}
bash$ cc a.c
bash$ ./a.out &
[1] 3428
bash$ ps x
  PID TT STAT   TIME COMMAND
Segmentation fault
bash$ kill %1
[1]+  Terminated              ./a.out
bash$ c89 a.c
bash$ ./a.out &
[1] 3436
bash$ ps x
  PID TT STAT   TIME COMMAND
Segmentation fault
bash$ kill %1
[1]+  Terminated              ./a.out
bash$ type ps
ps is /bin/ps
bash$ exit

So what do the new OS's (4.2A/4.3) provide over 4.2? (Other than presumably a
fix to this bug.) We haven't got gcc on this machine - but I expect the result
would be pretty much the same.

Is there a list of patches available for the OS as on Suns?
