I was bitten on our SVR4 - it's in libgen.a.  Good grief.

This is on an ICL DRS6000 [SPARC], running ICL's port of SVR4 - I don't know
who is responsible for the change... but apparently ICL is responsible for
the definitive SPARC port for AT&T.  Maybe someone can confirm or clarify 
this for me.

Ta muchly.
