OK, guys, when was the last time that the DES library passed its
verify test when compiled with BIG not defined?

When defined, BIG causes compilation of a program that is quite a bit
faster, but in payment is also quite a bit larger.  I need the small
library on the PC.  With BIG defined the des library passes its
verify test both on the VAX and the PC.  With BIG undefined, it fails
both places.  (With different wrong answers.)

Steve: can you reconstruct any changes that might have led to this
problem?  Or identify a set of sources that passes verify with BIG
undefined, so that we can diff?
