Ollivier, 
Thanks for telling me libmd.so & libcompat.so were obsolete, it helped :-)

Your 2nd guess was right: some of my binaries from a previous 2.something
release (stamp is Nov 15  1995)  were not overlayed by an over-the-local-net
install, because of a problem with _collate_range_cmp & locale.h, on my 
current box, which prevented these compiling:
	 csh sh awk grep sort tar fetch strfile
so I'm doing a make world. 

Julian
