While exploring with AKCL on DJGPP, I came across a code segment in
the file 'exphdlr.c' around line 165 in GO32 which read:

if ((i >= hard_slave_lo && i <= hard_slave_hi
	&& i != hard_slave_hi + 5)
.....

The logic does not look right at all, since the last condition is automatically
satisfied given the first two. Is this a typo or some left over codes from
previous modifications?

BTY, I was looking around in the GO32 codes because the AKCL port that I
got off math.utexas.edu did not work - it can't spawn any commands without
corrupting it's own memory.  Since the GO32 that came with this port
is a modified version, I was trying to see what cause this by comparing the
sources for both version of the GO32.  The above code segments are common
to both versions.  I am quite sure that the problem is cause by the improper
swap handling that was report earlier in this group.
