The get_message client quit working for us when we went from SunOS 4.1.3
to SunOS 4.1.3_U1.  The locus of the problem is the select() call
in get_message_from_server.c right after the client has sent the GMS
version number to the server.  It times out.  Right now I'm running
identical static-linked binary on 4.1.3 and 4.1.3_U1; the former works,
the latter does not.  So we're looking into this with the Sun bugs data
base and that sort of thing.  I'm passing this along just in case
anybody at MIT might want to run get_message on a pre-Solaris 2.x Sun
and have the same trouble.
