Tibbetts's build machine recently switched from 8.3 to 8.4.
After going to 8.4, he rebuilt zlib, causing the sawfish binaries
(built on 8.3) to break.  The error is:

hodge-podge$ add -f aui ; sawfish
ld.so.1: sawfish: fatal: relocation error: file /mit/aui/arch/sun4x_56/lib/libz.so: symbol __register_frame_info: referenced symbol not found
Killed

I rebuilt and installed zlib on hodge-podge (an 8.3 Ultra 5), and
sawfish went back to working.
