yeah, but the fix is really easy, it's one bad flag value in the source, it
is easy to find, have done that in pre-linux times (dont have those sources
anymore :( ). NCSA *.08 sources are downloadable from all major FTP sites.

(since it's only a bad bitmask, it should be fixable with diskedit.exe ... :))

the wrong line is something like "if( flag & 0x3f )", the correct
one should be something like "if( flag & 0x1f )".
