I've seen this happen under SunOS 2.3, and I think 2.4, though I've seen
other 2.4 systems that didn't have this problem. My solution was to add
the following to autorun immediately after the first while statement:
if [ -r bin/circle.new ]; then
mv bin/circle bin/circle.old
mv bin/circle.new bin/circle
fi
Then edit your Makefile and Makefile.in, and replace all instances of
bin/circle with bin/circle.new. The circle.old file is created so you
can debug your core. Rememebr to delete it when you don't need it if
your space is limited.
This may be caused by an old compiler now that I think of it. You may
want to upgrade if possible.
