        Well, I see there is a patch for pcomm to flush stdout.
I thought this may be it. BUT....
I got the source from tsx-11.mit.edu and compiled it. (I got
GCC 2.11c working finally, tar has trashed some of the headers)
I got alot of errors. They were
        Incompatiable pointer in SIGNAL (quite a few of these)
        Declared 'extern' and later 'static'

        This to me seems to be something that some not be
ignored. Does anyone else get this errors? I just type
make all right after untarring it.

        I would, every now and then, crash because of pcomm.
I thought it was the bad curses library it used, but after seeing
this I am wondering. (General protection fault, I'd get and lock that
virtual console)

        Any comments?
