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.
