Possibly it's the SC libraries or compiler - I don't have MarkWilliams so
can't check if changing the compiler/library would clear this up (one of
Matthias's subgoals what this is a DIY project using free tools.)

Possibly it's the Quadra or MacOS v7.6. I'm hoping not.

One way to check .. could I as you to compile using MWC, a 68K version of
miniperl and leave it someplace accessable?

BTW,
:miniperl -le 'print $]'
5.006
