Further to my earlier comments, I added a 'refuse' line to stop the sup
trying to access that problematical file (after the third time it stopped
in exactly the same place) - src/sys/kern/exec_ecoff.c - and the sup
happily carried on beyond it and is still going...

I wondered if it might be non-text, so I did a file exec_ecoff.c, but it
reckons it is a kosher C program file, so I dunno...

ANy ideas, anyone? (Incindentally I FTP'ed the file by hand ;-)
