I don't quite know what is going on here, but...

/home/mike$nslookup ftp.cs.usyd.edu.au
Server:  rzcomm1.rz.tu-bs.de
Address:  134.169.9.107

Name:    crux.cs.usyd.edu.au
Address:  129.78.8.2
Aliases:  ftp.cs.usyd.edu.au

/home/mike$wget ftp://ftp.cs.usyd.au/jeff/lout/lout-3.15.tar.gz
--15:09:47--  ftp://ftp.cs.usyd.au:21/jeff/lout/lout-3.15.tar.gz
           => `lout-3.15.tar.gz'
Connecting to ftp.cs.usyd.au:21...
ftp.cs.usyd.au: Host not found
/home/mike$lftp ftp://ftp.cs.usyd.au/jeff/lout/lout-3.15.tar.gz
lftp: ftp.cs.usyd.au: Unknown host

So, there would appear to be a domain name entry for this machine, yet
the FTP clients cannot find it.


The reason why I wanted to check this version is that I can provoke
segmentation faults with 3.14.  Specifically, with 
@SysInclude{ teq }
and the code
@Eq{ bar bar period bar bar sub x }}
I get 

/home/mike/lout/letters$lout opt.lout >/dev/null
Segmentation fault

Change that "teq" to "eq", and there's no segmentation fault.


System: Linux-2.2.9.

Cheers,
