yes. the new sources are 64 bit off_t, and you should have minimal
problems tracking things from here on in (until the next big
break-everything change). Be sure to follow current-users as that
is where bootstrapping issues are normally discussed.

sorry -- you're likely to have that problem for a long time. The SunOS
pgrp/session code is more lax and forgiving than POSIX says it should
be. Our code is ... probably close to POSIX. I presume that SunOS made
their pgrp's lax so that SunOS 3.5 binaries could run, or perhaps
SunOS 4.0 binaries.

Unfortunately it will fail to run a SunOS-compiled xterm if your shell
is csh. Some have reported that using `sh' works (?)

There is unlikely to be a fix put in the kernel to get around this
problem. But, soon there'll be a native X distribution... right?
