Sorry about that! If you count hte chars you come up with 14. The object over-
wrote the source. I could swear I changed that :-(

I never had that problems but then I have byacc as well as bison. I'll check
into it.

That happens with gcc222d. Just remove all -linet in the Makefiles.

I'll u/l fixes within a couple of days. If you can't wait, do the follwing:
touch insert_mbtree.
use byacc
remove -linet's
in .../iutil/Makefile remove getservent.*'s

I suggest you wait till tommorow.
