Would you believe one line?
Alphas don't like it when you mix char* with int
I've reported this bug on this list previously about 3 weeks ago,
some title like severe bug found in 3.7.4
Ref Debian bug 83231 "Segmentation fault on lprng startup"

-{ "direct", 0, STRING_K, &Direct_DYN,0,0},
+{ "direct", 0, INTEGER_K, &Direct_DYN,0,0},

It dies in get parms because it tries to put an integer into a char*
and the Alpha has big 'uns compared to i386.
The Alpha is great for picking up this sort of stuff.
