Robert,

Nuts.

I am sure that you didn't make any mistakes.  I will jump on your machine
and take a look.

OK, I see that.

I tried rebuilding ingebin.k and building the 7.4 version of ingebin.k
linked against 7.5 libmcidas.a.  Neither of these produced a working
ingebin.k.  In order to buy time (as it were) I FTPed a working 7.4
version of ingebin.k to your ~mcidas/bin directory and watched to make
sure that it would run correctly; it does.

I will troubleshoot this problem and get you back a fix.  I can't for
the life of me think of what may be wrong.  The couple of changes to
ingebin.pgm between 7.4 and 7.5 were trivial.  Furthermore, these
changes produced a working ingebin.k on our Solaris SPARC box; I have
been running that copy successfully since early December.

I'll be back in touch as soon as I find out what is amiss.
