Running "detex" with any sort of arguments on the Sun made it dump
core. I tried just rebuilding, on the assumption it was a SunOs
vs. Solaris problem, which failed miserably. After a lot of gdb, I
finally realized what the problem was: for some reason you *can't*
modify static strings if you compile {with,on} {/mit/gnu/bin/gcc,Sun}.
Aieeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Anyway, I apparently fixed it.

PS. If anyone wants to play with a newer version of detex, they should. =)
