It has been brought to my attention that people are having trouble
building and/or running mule in recent versions of FreeBSD-current.
This is probably caused by the changes I made to the dynamic linker
on November 28-29.  Mule is based on emacs, and there were definite
problems with emacs.

I am looking for a fix.  Meanwhile, if you need to build or run
mule, please revert your dynamic linker to the version from
around November 25.  To do that, replace the following files in
src/gnu/usr.bin/ld/rtld with the specified revisions, and do a "make
cleandepend; make depend; make all install".

    Makefile	1.24
    malloc.c	1.8
    rtld.c	1.49
    sbrk.c	1.4

See <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi>; if you don't know how to
get old versions of files.

The bug is in emacs/mule, not in the dynamic linker.  But I'm sorry
for the hassle anyway.

John
