[ale] Upgrading mishaps. (cont)

Okay, since this morning I've been playing around some more and have
discovered some more casualties.

1. UMSDOS
	UMSDOS has been acting strange now. In my home directory when I
press tab for command completion, it inserts "umsdos_readdir_x:linux/inux
negative after link" and then completes it. It is quite annoying. It only
does it in my home directory though.

2. PS
	ps has also been acting up. The display is different, and it acts
strangely. It is version 2.0.2 now. I tried going back to kernel 2.0.34
to compare the look, but it complains about /boot/system.map (I think)
having the wrong kernel version, and then it does the same thing as 2.2.6
did.

3. Netscape
	Before the upgrades, and actually during the upgrades, (I
downloaded with netscape) Netscape worked just fine. I just barely tried
it and it tells me:

netscape: can't load library 'libg++.so.27'

What did I upgrade that got rid of that, and how can I get it back?

4. I'm sure there will be others, so please listen in when I find them.

I am pleased with the performance of 2.2 though. X loads a bit faster,
and the distributed.net rc5des client is signifigantly faster. Emacs
loads a slight bit faster, and I can't compare Netscape, because I broke
it. Can anyone help me fix it?
