Well, I guess there are two possibilities:  (a) Ish didn't correct
all intances of "typestr" in the Alef sources or (b) the new "C"
compiler has changed at least enough to damage the Alef binaries.

I remember mention of a pointer to the "typestr" extension (but
not the pointer itself).  Are there other such?  Is it time for me
to read the code? :-)  Is there a list of changes?

PS: Rob, is there any sentiment within Bell Labs about releasing the
Alef sources from 2ed?  I assume there are no non-disclosure
restrictions, and I'll take on the burden of supporting what limited
demand there may be.  Of course, it may be better to encourage use of
Limbo.
