Hi Andre,

There's a problem in codepage_initialise() which causes all the command-line
programs to crash exactly as you describe (I should say that I'm also using 
sparc Solaris 2.7). Perhaps an endianness problem on sparc? - I haven't had
time to investigate so far.

I've temporarily worked around it with the following in  lib/cmd_interp.c :

#if 0
	codepage_initialise(lp_client_code_page());
#endif

(line 1475 in my version, from yesterday). I've assumed (without checking)
that the omission won't cause me too much grief for the moment, and it has
at least allowed the programs to start.

George
