FIXED:  problems in systems with more than 2 megabytes of memory
	Due to problems with integer vs. unsigned types, the distributed
system didn't properly deal with large amounts of memory (> 2 megabytes).
Three files must be changed to correct this:

	diff kernel/sys/sys/machdep.c.old kernel/sys/sys/machdep.c
	81d80
	= 32767L)break;

	diff kernel/sys/sys/malloc.c.old kernel/sys/sys/malloc.c
	24a25
	> unsigned size;
	57c58,59
	 register unsigned a;
	> unsigned size;

	diff kernel/inlcude/sys/map.h.old kernel/include/sys/map.h
	3c3
	 	unsigned short m_size;


These changes should be made to all tapes written before 12/11/81.
