3.32 fixes some bugs Thomas Gellekum found out by exploring it with
some extraordinary, strange and mysterious VAX programs. It also
introduced a bug with making a pcvt driven tty the contolling terminal
which has not been fixed.

In case anyone has some spare time to waste, it would be nice to move
some of the 3.32 fixes into 3.24-beta without carrying the bug(s) while
doing it.
