Here is what I have:
a) Minor fix for hints/os2;
b) 1 taint test minorly broken (does not unset IFS), and should be
switched off on DOSISH systems anyway :-(;
c) One additional word made legal in MakeMaker (It was supported
before, but a warning was issued).

You too, eh?
However, here's a patch which brings the _91 version up to date.
YES, it still slurps chunks. ( No comment )
YES, it still uses XMP. (Nothing else works right)
YES, it still is hard to follow. (But oh, the joy of figuring it out!)
YES, it works on all platforms with configuration, including Macs...
I had pretty much given up on this, just telling people to grab
the latest from my CPAN dir, but I get alot of mail with fixes
against 1.15, and this is version is vastly better... Please
try it, and apply to 5.004, if it's not too late.
I will (respectfully) ignore any whining about the inappropriateness
of some of the things I had to do in here. Also any comments
about other renditions, I've tried them all, and this one still
excels; besides working on all platforms. I'm in the middle of a
rather difficult project, and I took the day off today to get this
together.

Staying leery is probably healthy.
Looking at _90's Configure, I see we'd have to change some
dependencies to move the sfio sanity checking earlier in the script.
I'd probably be inclined to do this by merging stuff into a single unit
(right after checking whether sfio is available, check whether it's
useful) and giving the whole thing a ?Y:TOP directive.

FWIW, the Beta Zvoid is alive and kicking on Linux 2.0.28.
You might want to put this in too. (The patches to hv.h are mostly
to an unused macro that will be useful for extension writers).

Good. This here patch sets up the flag in a few more places (to avoid
redundant sigjmp()s which was why t/op/tie.t triggered execution
of docatch()). This patch fixes that flag leak.

Ok, here's a patch for the perl_call_*() problems with error traps,
meant for 5.004 (hope I didn't miss the boat!).
This is a subset of the functionality contained in Michael Schroeder's
stack-of-stacks patch. The patch itself if simple: code that calls
runops() without explicitly setting up a jmp_buf sets a flag that
indicates doeval() is responsible for catching any longjmp()s
locally. The three places that call doeval() then call setjmp()
based on this flag.
This patch is binary compatible and minimal (as opposed to the
stack-of-stacks patch which has other issues involved, making it
more complicated). There's a testsuite with 9 tests (3_28 fails all
but one).

installperl breaks running system (for a while)
"installperl" causes scripts with "/usr/bin/perl" or equivalent to
fail during the process of installation, which can take a while with
slow disks and/or slow CPUs. It should install the libraries and such
*before* linking "$installbin/perl" to the version-dependent executable.

The ->close is necessary, the IO::Pipe code is leaving two copies of the
pipe in the child. It dup()s the pipe onto STDIN/STDOUT, but doesn't
then close the pipe.
Here's an fd scan of a child whose parent did ->reader:
FD Type Mode UID Inode File System FS Type rdev
0 char special 0620 roderick 686 13054,42068 dg/ux 23, 8
1 FIFO special 0000 roderick 23 900, 0 dg/ux --
2 char special 0620 roderick 686 13054,42068 dg/ux 23, 8
4 FIFO special 0000 roderick 23 900, 0 dg/ux --
fd 4 is original write side of the pipe (the read side was fd 3) which
should have been closed by this point.

Ultrix hints
Subject: Re: Perl 5.003_28 is available
The hint file for ULTRIX is out of date with respect to the size
of the Perl_yylex() function. I found this after enabling -O2,
which works in recent versions of the compiler. Also, despite
the inability of the standard dist unit to detect the fact, the
ULTRIX dirent struct does too have a d_namelen field.
Patch for that attached.
Also, of course, as expected, ULTRIX still fails t/io/fs.t test
#25, since [f]truncate can't be used to extend a file on that OS.
All other tests are fine.

Yep, I expected that.
Patch worked fine here; below is an extra test using the same code as my
original example.

Re: OS/2 patch for _27
The bulk of this patch is README.os2 which has a lot of formatting
stripped (it is at the end). The rest (340 lines of -u) is quite simple.
INSTALL
t/harness documented.
lib/Test/Harness.pm
Can test files with -T on hash-bang line.
Gets more info from tests which coredump.
Will not try to load Devel::CoreStack on each test.
os2/Changes
Updated.
os2/OS2/PrfDB/t/os2_prfdb.t
File closed.
os2/os2.c
Poor-man's setup of environment if DLL run from non-conforming EXE.
os2/os2ish.h
Poor-man's setup of environment if DLL run from non-conforming EXE.
ALTERNATE_SHEBANG defined.
os2/perl2cmd.pl
Updated for ALTERNATE_SHEBANG.
perl.c
If ALTERNATE_SHEBANG defined, just ignore -S on the starting
line. (It might be already used by OS to start perl.)
pod/perldelta.pod
Malloc's PERL_DEBUG_MSTATS, EMERGENCY_SBR, PACK_MALLOC,
TWO_POT_OPTIMIZE documented.
t/harness
Does not require -I../lib any more.
t/op/magic.t
Now works under OS/2 with both tests.
t/TEST
Adds an advice to use
perl harness
to get better granularity.
README.os2
A lot of markup stripped (in the hope that smart converters
will add it back), minor updates.

prototype error in File::stat
The prototype for lstat in File::stat is wrong. It stats that is expects
a GLOB. It should be expecting a scalar, the same as File::stat::stat.
