I'm running unoff4 w/ the shared active patch on BSDI2.1 without
any problems.  Actually, I had exactly the same thing you mention above.
I went through the code to try to figure out what was going on.
For it to compile, I'm sure you know you need to set LIBS -lipc but I think
in the end, the only thing I did was use gcc instead of cc.

Unfortunately, I have no idea why this would've made a difference, but
I'm not one to question it much when everything's working like it should.

Let me know if anyone has any luck.
