A couple of days after I posted the getopt source, I finally got
the copy I had ordered from the AT&T toolchest.  They are identical,
except that the one from the toolchest has the following prepended:

1,14d0
< /*

< 
<  */
< #ident	"@(#)getopt.c	1.9"
< /*	3.0 SID #	1.2	*/

AT&T appear to be of two minds about this, since the copy I got
directly by mail from them did not have any such notice, and this is in
fact the same code which *was* published at the Dallas Uniforum, and
made public domain, to boot.  Since the copy I posted was not the
toolchest one, and had no such notice, I guess the notice is irrelevant.

Now to send them a check for $1.80 for the toolchest transmission fee....
