Finding the signal bug in sparc32 glibc for slink was harder ;-)
I just filed a grave bug report against ash. Just close it with your binary
only upload of ash.
After recompiling new boot floppies could you put them up somewhere.
Recompiling boot floppies on our small sparc 10/20 and Ultra I is a pain.
BTW thanks for all the potato work on the sparc port, Ben.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
