Here are a few bugs I found when I built finger 1.36.  I got my copy
from isy.liu.se, am using Sun 4 running SunOS 4.1.2, compiled with gcc
2.2.2.

- When I tried to make the system using GNU make, it complained it
  detected a loop when expanding macro value $(INSTALL).

- The Makefile in src didn't include dependencies on ../maildir.o for
  the programs, nor on lib/libfinger.a.

- The file doc/finger.info looks strange on line 151:

     ` 0.000000inger --info bson@gnu.ai.mit.edu'

- I compiled with INFO_IS_DEFAULT defined in config.h.  As a result,
  the command

	finger .version

  complains that user .version is unknown.  Although this is the
  normal behaviour of

	finger --info .version

  and not a bug, it's a behaviour I didn't expect.  IMHO, these
  built-in special names ought to give the same answer both in long
  and short form.
