I've pulled in the source for epoch 3.2 and went off making it --
and when it goes into temacs the first time (to run inc-vers) it never
ever returns.  I've dbx'd it and it disappears in the call to
sigsetmask.

Specifically in malloc.c, function morecore, first instuctuion
  oldmask = sigsetmask(-1);

If I stop there and stepi in, we get
	li r2,110
	syscall

And we never hear from the system again.  Has anyone else seen this?
A friend with several older Ultrix version gets the same (non-)result.
