I've got one other patch I'll send along yet once I've got everything 
built.

Oops, yes, that was it and now I'm red-faced. Sorry.

I got farther now, but:

If I can help you with debugging, let me know.  I'm decent with gdb but 
I have no idea what to do to debug nhc98.

In this case, it was hmake-PRAGMA that died.  All I got from the 
coredump was:

goerzen at mfgpro:~/programs/nhc98-1.16/src/prelude/powerpc-AIX-5.1.0.0/NHC$ 
gdb .

Core was generated by `hmake-PRAGMA'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

I suppose hmake-PRAGMA needs to be built with debugging symbols.  I'll 
see if I can figure out how.

Thanks again.
