I have hit on two noticable bugs so far:

1) fix with the diffs applied occasionally just stops mid file... I used
   chmem and gave it as much stack as I could-- no help.  No message is
   printed and I have not attempted to debug so all I can say is to stick
   with the v(1.2) fix.  The file was ls.c.diff by the by-- is would toss
   about the last 30 lines.

2) ar no longer matches file names of the full 14 characters... so if
   you "ar r arc.a doprintf.c.dif"  you get a cute problem-- "ar t arc.a"
   yields doprintf.c.diff as a member but things like "ar x arc.a
   doprintf.c.dif" claim that doprintf.c.dif is not in the archive.  
   looks like a fence post error in the match routine, but I have not yet 
   checked. Again ar v(1.2) does not have this problem.
