Due to problems with integer vs. unsigned types, the distributed system didn't properly deal with large amounts of memory (> 2 megabytes). Three files must be changed to correct this: diff kernel/sys/sys/machdep.c.old kernel/sys/sys/machdep.c 81d80 < if (maxmem >= 32767L)break; diff kernel/sys/sys/malloc.c.old kernel/sys/sys/malloc.c 24a25 > unsigned size; 57c58,59 < register int a; --- > register unsigned a; > unsigned size; diff kernel/inlcude/sys/map.h.old kernel/include/sys/map.h 3c3 < short m_size; --- > unsigned short m_size; These changes should be made to all tapes written before 12/11/81.
