| the machine type.
| 
| Specifically, a version of GNU ld, built on a Sun 4/60 under SunOS
| 4.0.3c, works fine on both 4/60's and 4/65's running 4.0.3c and 4.1, but
| fails on 4/280's and 4/330's running 4.0.3 and 4.1.
| 
| I haven't had a chance to track down just why as yet, but it's dying
| with a seg. fault inside the first call to malloc -- asking for 40
| bytes.  Also, it fails in the same way even when invoked with no
| arguments.

I seem to recall dimly that the pagesize changed between the different
SPARC's (4k -> 8K?).  I remember people said it caused segfaults.  You
might want to check the a.out.h file on your system.  Hope this helps.

Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
