    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....
