FIX: to kernel/include/a.out.h
       In diff, there is a call to a macro N_BADMAG, which I found in
       the VAX a.out.h, but not in the supplied one.

These changes should be made to kernel/include/a.out.h:

       diff kernel/include/a.out.h.old kernel/include/a.out.h:
       23a24,36
       > /*
       >  * Macros which take exec structures as arguments and tell whether
       >  * the file has a reasonable magic number or offsets to text|symbols.
       >  */
       > #define       N_BADMAG(x) \
       >     (((x).a_magic)!=A_MAGIC1 && ((x).a_magic)!=A_MAGIC2 && \
       >      ((x).a_magic)!=A_MAGIC3 && ((x).a_magic)!=A_MAGIC4 && \
       >      ((x).a_magic)!=A_MAGIC5 && ((x).a_magic)!=A_MAGIC6)
       >
       > #define       N_TXTOFF(x) \
       >       ((x).a_magic==A_MAGIC5 || (x).a_magic==A_MAGIC6 ? \
       >        sizeof (struct ovlhdr) + sizeof (struct exec) : sizeof (struct exec))
       >

They should be applied to all tapes written before 10/5/81.
