Oops that latter was MMK V3.8-1, and like I said the extra LFs were gone,
but there was stuff (appeared to be all SYS$ERROR I suspect?) that did
appear in the output and probably ought not have been visible.
At any rate the problem of extra LFs does appear unique to MMS, so what to
do? We could possibly modify test.com to read the value of
$Config{'make'} and set things up differently, couldn't we?

I wonder if it is a clean vs dirty install issue since it seems to be
whining about a missing warning.pm file.
