Subj: 	srequest having problem on ultrix/mips

The last few times I've run srequest (over the past month or two), it's been
having problems during the bstat/bdiff phase.  It seems that some shell
script handling may not be compatible with the version of the shell running
under Ultrix on my Mips workstation.  The output below captures junk going
to the screen just before the edit session of the srequest form, and when
the list of files is long, my xterm window beeps numerous times and the
list of files to bstat/bdiff becomes corrupted (maybe a shell variable
overflow).  Come someone please take a look at this problem?  Thanks.

Cheers.  -ernie

=====================================================
A bdiff log will be generated from the previous edited list of files.

You can include[i] the bdiff results in this form, supply a pointer[p] to
the generated bdiff's, or specify the location[l] of a file that contains
previously generated bdiff's.

How do you want the bdiff's represented [i|p|l] : p

Enter explicit path to bdiff log file to be created: /home/petrides/tmp/intr.bdi
