It had already occured to me to try that. If you do Show System
Components X Server you'll get a cool diagram of every subsystem X
Server needs and when you do Load System it loads whatever it needs
that hasn't been loaded yet. I manually loaded C Runtime 435.0
Released and also C Packages 433.0 Released but I still got the
error. One interesting thing though; Loading C Packages only does
this:

  Reading SYS:C;PACKAGES;PACKAGE-DUMMY.LISP.1
  Initializing system C Packages version 433
  Loading patches for system C Packages version 433

PACKAGE-DUMMY.LISP.1 just has a copyright comment with zero Lisp
code. I wonder why a dummy package has been provided, and if the bzero
definition was perhaps in there.

I have a Genera 8.3 CD and a layered products CD....
