1)

   Prototype for madvise() is missing from sys/mman.h

2) 
 
   rpcgen doesn't set up proc list properly and may crash. Here is a
   patch:

*** rpc_parse.c~	Sun Aug  7 21:01:32 1994
--- rpc_parse.c	Sun May 14 18:13:32 1995
***************
*** 165,170 ****
--- 165,171 ----
			ptailp = &plist->next;
			peek(&tok);
		} while (tok.kind != TOK_RBRACE);
+		*ptailp = NULL;
		*vtailp = vlist;
		vtailp = &vlist->next;
		scan(TOK_RBRACE, &tok);

3)

    Reboot doesn't always work. The new keyboard controller reset code in
    cpu_reset() sometimes just hangs my machine (a nameless 486 clone)
    and I have to push reset button to get it alive again. The old way
    worked always.

4)

    This patch teaches info to read gzipped files (emacs info already
    works) so one can gzip files in /usr/share/info and save a few
    megabytes diskspace.
