It's odd. I had already tried "8 Oct 2000 10:00:00 PDT" on
one system
(RedHat Linux 6.1), and it had worked. Today I'm building
on a Caldera
2.3 system, and both the 00:00 and 10:00 builds fail.
I've attached the output of the make. Could I have a bad
copy of this
source file? How could I tell (not knowing much about CVS,
I'm
disinclined to perform random experiments).
