>How-To-Repeat:
make the same setup.
>Fix:
I modified alloc.c by changing the initialization of FILE fd* = NULL; to just
FILE *fd;
I typecast the mode parameter to const char * on the two fdopen lines.
In mod_dir.c I commented out the ULTRIX_BRAIN_DEATH compile time #if to use
the second version which matched my C documentation.
I left the http_bprinf.c problem as it seemed harmless at the time
