Thanks.  I have a couple of complaints, though.  Several of my
favorite bugs (patches posted ages ago) have been resurrected
in this new release.

They are:
  * In samterm, MAXFILES is too small.  (I've been using 4K.)

  * In sam, private temp files are world readable/writable.

  * In libXg, "fontfile" is specified by the X client app.  In general
    that cannot work: unlike in Plan 9, the X terminal usually won't
    share any filesystem with the machine on which the X app is
    running, so *no* filename can be valid for "-p9font".  The fix is
    to store the unicode font map in an X property which is set by your
    xinitrc.

I'll dig the diffs out of my RCS files tomorrow and sent them along.
