UNIXPC users be forewarned:  Perl 2.0 (patchlevel 0) is broken on the
UNIXPC under 3.51.  It 'makes' without problems, but dies immediately
with a memory fault down in the regex routines when attempting a 'make
test.'  Building perl with '#define ALIGN' or '#undef ALIGN' in
regexp.c doesn't help, nor does using (or not using) the provided
malloc.c.  Haven't had a chance to look at the problem beyond that.
