You are right, of course, I had lost my mind and thought it ran out in
2002.  Oh well, personally I don't care b/c I think Unisys is exploiting
the patent unfairly, but oh well.  By the way, did you enable threading or
not?  It would be interesting to know if the posix threads are far enough
along to be of any use in speeding it up...

Thanks again for your hard work!
