Ok, I already thought something like that. Is there an easy way to find
out with a debugger, in which line this happens?
Another warning I got was:
mandb: unimplemented OSF mmap flags 0201
what is that? I guess it's not dangerous, too...

I tried to compile it, and it worked without a problem. I think I could
upload it, since it is a valuable tool imho. Perhaps Alpha folks are just
used to fiddling with the packaging system for hous, so they don't need it
:)
How can I tell build that I'm not the real maintainer, but just uploading
the package? If I give the -m option, it puts me in as maintainer.
