It sounds like we're being bitten by the fact that we don't have 3.3a
binaries available because no one saw fit to snapshot them from the
transarc cell when feasable?
Is there something wrong with these binaries?:
[bart-savagewood!jhawk] ~afsdev/dist/3.3a> ls -l {pmax*,sun*412}/root.server/usr/afs/bin/buserver
-rwxr-xr-x 1 19558 root 385024 Jun 29 1994 pmax_ul43a/root.server/usr/afs/bin/buserver
-rwxr-xr-x 1 80176 root 319488 Jun 28 1994 sun4m_412/root.server/usr/afs/bin/buserver
Worse case, we should be able to build from source.
I guess I'm a bit confused about the fuss. Could you please clarify.
