PROBLEM:
	Including /usr/include/ndir.h and /usr/include/sys/types.h
results in "Incompatible types" message.

REPEAT-BY:

Create foo.c:

#include <ndir.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

cc -c foo.c

REASON:
	ndir.h uses #define for u_short and u_long rather
then including types.h.

FIX:

In ndir.h change #define lines for u_short and u_long too:

#ifdef ridge
#include <sys/types.h>
#else
#define u_short unsigned short
#define u_long unsigned long
#endif

	This is safe against multiple includes of types.h because
types.h uses a #define and #ifdef to make sure its body is not included
more than once.
