Thanks, Mark and I are looking into it.  It's odd.

Hmmmm!  This one may not be fixed by the time the snap is regenerated.

I agree, but in the meantime it's just 2 extra lines in the .login
and .profile (.cshrc never contained a stty and should not have?).

Would someone here care to make one?  I always get stuck making
the compat* dists, and there are always complaints! :-)

This is, I assume, the gzip problem?  Poul-H?  Help!

Can you be more specific?
