I don't think I understand.  I pulled down 'djlsr202' from the 980101
directory
on simtelnet and it doesn't appear that the stack is being aligned in

Do you mean you got the patch and haven't or won't install it or is it just
an oversite?

Here's a diff against the latest alpha if it is the latter.
