System name:		kenmore
Type and version:	POWER 7.6H (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		

What were you trying to do?
	Install 280 files at once:
	    /usr/athena/bin/install -c -m 644 *pk /mit/tex/lib/tex/fonts/pk

What's wrong:
	On RS6000s and Suns, install dumps core saying
	    install: can't find Segmentation fault (core dumped)
	[This is the first time I saw a program complain because it
	couldn't find a segmentation fault. =) ]

	On DECstations, it doesn't dump core, but says
	    install: can't find (null).

What should have happened:
	I should have gone to bed long ago.
	Install should have installed my files.

Please describe any software that doesn't break in the same fashion:
	GNU install.
