Hi again,

Yesterday I inquired about the HP patch PHCO_0800 that the gcc ./INSTALL
file mentions is needed to get around an "as" bug in HP-UX 8 for
9000/[34]xx machines, but which HP claim is long superceded, and for a
different problem anyway.  That question remains, but is moot because 2.3.3
builds properly on this configuration.  The INSTALL file needs updating
w.r.t. this people.  Version 2.3.2 *does* have this problem.

Thanx to Thomas Nau <Thomas.Nau@medizin.uni-ulm.de> for the answer, and for
the fix that went into 2.3.3.

BTW: There *is* one problem - an errant space after the line-continuation
     "\" inside a macro definition in ph320.h (referred to during the build
     as tm.h).  It manifests as a syntax error for the line "} while (0)".
