I have it running under 2.1.99 with a patch provided by Richard Henderson.
It seems there is a bit of a "feature" in the Digital Unix libraries,
which Digital Unix ignores and Linux does not. I don't know if the same
patch will work under 2.0.33 since I haven't been running "stable" kernels
for over six months. Here's tha patch in people terms:
delete the following two lines from the function do_sigreturn in the file
./arch/alpha/kernel/signal.c
if (__get_user(ps, &frame->sc.sc_ps) || ps != 8)
goto give_sigsegv;
This was about line 287 in the 2.1.99 kernel. I am running Netscape 4.05
for Digital Unix.
Hope this helps,
A.B.
