I have been 'playing' with clam for a while now, and after the second
patch, asld runs out of memory. c'est le vie. Not to worry however, sudden
rush of brains to the head and I realise that several of the builtins
aren't extensions, but are fast replacements for programs on disk, e.g. cp
& ls. But, most Minix users have their root file system on a RAM disk
anyway, so we get no speed advantage. So I deleted them. At this point I
got some warnings from a colleague, 'watch what you delete', so I deleted
chdir. :-) Thank goodness I still had sh around.
