There was a reason that I still had an RCS lock on sys_term.c :-).
I had merged our tree with the Athena tree, and completed the merge
except for sys_term.c; I did leave it quite a bit longer than I
expected to, though.
As for Derek's encryption fixes, I don't know. I suppose it's
possible I screwed up the merge, but I don't think so. How do
Derek's fixes differ from the standard ones?
