Bugs as of 1 Mar 1992:- 
 
* Crack: is known to occasionally hang during a "Crack -network" whilst 
rshing from machine to machine on some architectures.  It's a persistent 
problem at some sites, when Crack rsh'es to a particular machine and 
stays there, and thus never calls the next machine. 
 
FIX: mark machines that hang Crack with the "-f" option in network.conf 
file, then the 'rsh' will be backgrounded and Crack will continue to the 
next machine.  The tweak in Crack v4.1 to close descriptors 0->9 on all 
machines (esp Apollos) may help this. 
 
* Beta testers on DEC 5500s have reported crack-pwc crashing when 
compiled with the optimiser.  This apparently doesn't happen using GCC 
or when optimisation is turned off (heisenbug?) 
 
Be warned. 
 
* Earlyish System V type systems will have problems if the environment 
variable SHELL is not set to "/bin/sh" - this is because SV will 
blithely ignore the "#!/bin/sh" line and invoke a csh anyway, if thats 
what you prefer. 
 
This is probably most easily diagnosed when Crack bails out like this: 
 
	CRACK_HOME=/your/crack/directory: Command not found. 
 
- or similar.
