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 )".
