This will probably be a conflict between the config.h used for building
the binary and the config.h you are using now.  The shared memory size
changes according to these changes.

Known problem on Red Hat V5.2 Intel.  Fix has been committed to the CVS
repository and is a removal of setjmp/longjmp in ntserv code.

I don't have the CVS username/password handy for public access, so I'd
guess this;

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.us.netrek.org:/home/netrek/cvsroot login
cvs checkout Vanilla

If that doesn't work, I'll go grab the thing for you on Monday.

Problem is whoever built the binary kit may have also modified it.
