I frequently receive requests for an undump for this or that system (I
am the original author).  While I am pleased the people like the program
so much, I have not been maintaining it for a long time (nor do I know
anyone who has).  It has, for the most part, been superseded by
"unexec", a function that can be called from a running program to create
an "a.out" image (of that program).  It is available for many different
systems (including SYS V), and is part of the Gnu Emacs distribution.

For those of you on the internet, the GNU Emacs distribution is on
prep.ai.mit.edu in /u2/emacs/edist.tar.  You could also try sending mail
to gnu-request@prep.ai.mit.edu.  (I'm not positive this works.)  
The administrators of louie.udel.edu also maintains copies of GNU
Emacs.  The files are available via anonymous ftp under directory
~ftp/gnu.  louie's addresses are (as of 24 Oct 1986):
10.0.0.96   louie.udel.edu udel-louie.arpa udel-louie louie udel-relay udel .

OSU is distributing GNU Emacs via uucp.  Details from Karl Kleinpaste
<osu-eddie!karl> or <karl@ohio-state.CSNET>

I can send individual copies, but my turnaround is usually pretty long
these days.

I know this isn't what the original poster was looking for, but perhaps
looking at the unexec source will suggest how to fix undump.
