Sorry if this plea has been aired before, but we have only recently
joined the net.

We use the (obsolete) bk line-discipline for up-loading files from
small micro-based systems connected over DZ lines.  Since converting
from 4.1 we get "bkclose: no buf" error messages, indicating that the
system buffer address has been lost from the tty table before bkclose
has released the buffer.  Presumably this is happening via the union
in the tty table where the character queue pointers are normally kept.

If anyone out there knows how/why/where this is happening I'd be 
pleased to hear from them via mail.

Thanks,
