this can be corrected in the Configure shell script. i don't
have
the source handy right now but as i remember there is a line
that
processes the configure info -- the line is:
". ./config.sh" or something similar. change the line to:
"/bin/sh ./config.sh"
this will solve the overflow problem.
let me know if you cannot get this to work and i will pull up
my
source and send you the exact patch.
