OK Kirk, well I got the source code that is on ftp.ucsd.edu and
have no way to test if it compiles with glibc, but I could try it with my
current system that is libc 5.6 or there about. The last one from MIT as I
recall.

So will give that a try off of /tmp and see what errors I get
doing the entire source. Will let the group know how it goes.
