I was trying to compile the DKB Ray Tracing program that I
got from wuarchive.wustl.edu /graphics/graphics/ray/dbktrace.
I copied the unix.mak and unix.conf to Makefile and config.h
and typed make.  Much to my surprise, I didn't get errors 
saying that all the C stuff was incompatiable.  Instead I
went to watch Star Trek and came back an hour later...and it
was still trying to compile.  It had only done 4 files!!!
I wanted to see how long it had been running so I suspened
the job and typed ps.  The system stopped.  I had this problem
earlier with another program I was compiling.  Has anyone
else had problems like this.  It really sucks that I can't
develop anything new on the system :(
