Almost...  Patch 14 has a small bug in it for those systems that
do not have the MKDIRSUB #define defined.  According to the defs.c
comments you are supposed to define this *if* your system has a mkdir()
system call.  Most System V Unix do not have this as a system call,
so this is usually left undefined.  This is used in the file funcs.c
where an alternate mkdir() is coded.  Unfortunately, Patch #14 enclosed this
mkdir() procedure with 

#ifdef MKDIRSUB

instead of

#ifndef MKDIRSUB

I did the following diff of my two files to get the offsets...
(by the way, how does one generate patch's from two different files?)

File: funcs.c
523c523
< #ifdef MKDIRSUB
---
> #ifndef MKDIRSUB

Another question - this is *not* meant to be sarcastic: Do the news
maintainers have access to  a System V machine to test out their
patches before sending them out?
