The problem on the RT should be easily fixed by removing the #define
COMPAT42 from sh.local.h and the Makefile; it was necessary under ACIS
4.2A but is not necessary under AOS 4.3.

I have some more extensive changes to properly provide COMPAT42 mode for
the DECstation and other Ultrix or 4.2-based systems.  These patches
remove all the extraneous stuff under COMPAT42 that was originally put
in as a quick hack to get tcsh running; we never studied until recently
exactly what it was that was necessary for COMPAT42; I have done that
and boiled down the COMPAT42 stuff to almost nothing.
