An unltra-simple moira client (/mit/qjb/source/moira/moiraqy)
compiles but fails to run (hangs on sms_connect()) using the
libraries in 6.2 on either the afs packs or the rvd's.  

If you copy my ~qjb/source/moira directory

Make moiraqy 

succesfully builds a client that hangs on sms_connect() using
the gdb and sms libraries in the release

Make -f Makefile.old moiraqy 

succesfully builds a working client in 6.2 even using the afs
packs using the sms and gdb libraries in minos:/third/sms2.0

I don't know what happens on a vax, but Makefile.old will
attempt to use the libraries in smsdev if you try compiling it. 

Since this is the last week of the term, I do not have time to
look into the problem at all, but will be glad to help out once
my finals are over on May 22.

I guess this is important; we don't want to have broken sms
libraries on the packs in 6.3.  They should work or not be there
at all, and the latter would really be a shame since it would
make it impossible to build rt sms clients without either
building the whole library or having source access.
