FIXED:  problems in systems with more than 2 megabytes of memory
       Due to problems with integer vs. unsigned types, the distributed
system didn't properly deal with large amounts of memory (> 2 megabytes).
Three files must be changed to correct this:

       diff kernel/sys/sys/machdep.c.old kernel/sys/sys/machdep.c
       81d80
       = 32767L)break;

       diff kernel/sys/sys/malloc.c.old kernel/sys/sys/malloc.c
       24a25
       > unsigned size;
       57c58,59
        register unsigned a;
       > unsigned size;

       diff kernel/inlcude/sys/map.h.old kernel/include/sys/map.h
       3c3
               unsigned short m_size;


These changes should be made to all tapes written before 12/11/81.
