We discovered the bug in "graph" too; SUN admitted that it was due to a
compiler bug (the structure passing one, I think) and gave us a working
binary for graph.  Another program that doesn't work properly on the SUN4
is "find":  if you just say "find filename" it never finds anything (this
works on the SUN3).  I think we told SUN about this one too, and they said
"it'll be fixed in 4.1."  

I can hardly wait.
