There is an even bigger problem.  If I install (with installit?) something
on my system running Micoport Sys V/3.0 r3.0e.  The next time I use awk
(dfspace for example) for any thing, the system locks up and I have to
power down and then back up.  I don't knopw if anyone else has mentioned
this, but it has existed since I got r2.2 at least.
