Congratulations!  Did you get any segmentation fault when running any
command?

Not quite yet, AFAIK.  The floating-point emulator, or FPE for short,
still has trouble properly working on the 68LC040.  It more or less
works on 68030 and 68020, though.

I had to return my loaner LC575 but just received a loaner PB520 for
fixing FPE (thanks to Kazunori Miura, the author of two MacBSD books
in Japan), so I'll be working toward fixing the FPE problem on the
LC040.
