Mark,

I found the cause of the problem you ran into.  The web page from which
you downloaded the addendum had an old link to the 7.40 mcupdate.tar.Z
file.  This was my fault, and I apologize profusely!  The origin of
this problem goes all the way back to the end of July, 1999.  The fact
that other users have not run into the problem tells me that they are
get the updates through FTP, not web downloads.

Unfortunately, my previous comments on how to get out of this situation
still stand.  One must reinstall the source code; rebuild the
distribution; and reinstall the binaries.

Again, I apologize for my screw-up.

Tom
