- We did also fix an lstat bug... perhaps that will fix this problem.
- The lstat bug we fixed was present in V5.10 as well as V6.0, though,
- so it may not be the culprit here.

- True... If access to the source code is not a "trade secret", go ahead
- and send it in and let us take a look. If it is, then perhaps we can
- sign a nondisclosure or something - we've done it before when working
- on compiler bugs.
-
- If you want to send us JUST the executables, send one compiled with
- V5.10 and one compiled with V6.0, and make sure that symbols are
- included in the executable. We might be able to figure it out
- just from that. Sending the source increases our odds, of course.
- (Sending instructions on how to run it increases them even more 8^)
