This patch came straight from Hannu (I think). Apply it only to
ossfree-37-beta4-linux, not earlier versions:

*** patmgr.c.old Mon Oct 21 20:29:22 1996
--- patmgr.c Mon Oct 21 20:30:23 1996

if (mbox[dev] && msg_direction[dev] == A_TO_S)
{
! copy_to_user (&(buf)[0], (char *) mbox[dev], count);
msg_direction[dev] = 0;
ok = 1;
}
--- 104,111 ----

if (mbox[dev] && msg_direction[dev] == A_TO_S)
{
! char *tmp = (char *) mbox[dev];
! copy_to_user (&(buf)[0], tmp, count);
msg_direction[dev] = 0;
ok = 1;
}
