   Are you running this on a Sequent (DYNIX) system by chance? For some peculiar
reason, it only does this to me when I run it on a Sequent Balance (compiled
with gcc 2.0). 
   I've run it on an HP & RS/6000 with gcc 2.2.2 and on a NeXT with NO problems.
I talked to the author about it, and neither of use can see a reason for it
to do this, particularly since it doesn't occur on other systems..
If you AREN'T using a Sequent, I hope you'll let me know (or if anyone else
out there that uses 1.83 has this problem). No currenlty known solution or
workaround. I suspect it's linked to the bugs in the past release that had
problems with extra long lines, because it doesn't always write "62 too
many bytes."

   Personally, I've run it in debug mode and all that jazz, but it doesn't 
reveal anything useful. Hopefully, this doesn't scare off potential mcvert
users, since 1.83 is pretty good (except for this one problem, which as I
said only seems to occur on Sequents), and worth upgrading to (if you can).
