The six months between:
date: 1993/03/21 09:46:25; author: cgd; state: Exp;

revision 1.1
date: 1993/10/27 22:00:50; author: jtc; state: Exp;
Did a ``make copy-to-libkern'' from libc to copy libc files to libkern.
Checking them in to make people happy.
when it looks like libkern was made.
Also, I guess it would make ddb more self-contained. i.e. so it can work

Take care,
