The machine is a Vax running 4.3 BSD.  This seems to happen regardless of
the values of variables and environments.

One more comment:  the Makefile for version 1.02 is much less portable
than the previous one.  For example, some versions of make don't understand
the following:

  %.o : %.c
  ^^^^^^^^^
	  $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $< -o $@

It also assumes the existence of variables like MAKE and RM which is
not defined in some versions of make.

Thanks.
