Well, I compiled libc 5.4.22 with the 970125 snapshot of pgcc. That
snapshot apparently fixes the annoying SIGABRT bug. I'd suggest FTPing the
source and compiling yourself.

I used '-mpentium -frisc'. Do the hardware gurus out there have any idea
if that was a bad idea? :) I haven't seen any major performance loss on
this P133.
