BUGS file



The BUGS file says that there are problems on ULTRIX with gcc.  The problem is
really in nawk.  As I remember, the latest BUGS file did not contain this.

The patch below also removes the multi-io bug/feature description since Zefram
fixed it by addin NO_MULTI_IOS option (which is not yet part of the baseline).

The MACHINES file contains the note about SunOS 4.1.3 (which is referenced
from the BUGS file).

Cheers,

   Zoltan

  On some systems nawk is broken and produces incorrect signames.h file.
  This make the signals code unusable. This often happens on Ultrix, HP-UX,
