Re: CVS commit: src

For the record, I objected this alternative to my earlier patch because
it once again buries the Alpha madness deeply inside MD headers. This is
just asking to recreate the problem the next time someone wants to deal
with the symbol table hash and there is still no real indication of
Alpha being the odd man out.
