Hi,
I had a problem compiling nl.c on a Sequent Symmetry S81 running Dynix
v3.0.17.9 (BSD 4.2 type machine).
I got an undefined symbol 'memset'. Looking at system.h I see there's:
#define bzero(s, n) memset ((s), 0, (n))
for USG and STDC_HEADERS (not defined on my machine), so I think the
appropriate patch is as appended to this message.
