Well, I finally got around to trying to build the kernel from the sources,
after downloading the 1.0 source tree.  (Yes, I got them from cray-ymp
while they were frozen.)  It seems to build OK, except for one compiler
error.  In function ptrace (source file .../kern/sys_process.c at line
198) it complains about a "cast from pointer to integer of different
size".  Then, when I boot the resulting system, it does all sorts of wierd
stuff, from just hanging to lots of panic: jump to zero errors to
unsupported coprocessor errors!

Anyone got any ideas?

Also, someone mentioned some patches.  I seem to have missed them, so
pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks, and sorry about putting a MacBSD post in the 386BSD group - there
doesn't seem to be a MacBSD group yet.  :(
