This is not really an accurate description of the problem.  There is a bug
in the SunOS 4.0.3 (Sun-3, Sun-4) version of <sundev/cg6reg.h> where the
mmap offsets are defined in terms of the "ctob" macro, which is related to
NBPG, the compile time page size constant.  The SunOS 4.0.3c (Sun-4c)
version has the correct definition in terms of the constant 8192.  So, you
will only run into problems if you compile the server on an SS-1 (aka
4/60), using the 4.0.3 include file.  If you compile on a Sun-4, or
compile on an SS-1 with the 4.0.3c include file, you will get a server
which will work correctly on any Sun-4 or Sun-4c system.
