So, in the process of transferring this all to a TAR file, we found a bug in
BSD 4.1b. (The length of some directories whose last sector held only one
entry was being incorrectly set to the actual length of the directory, not a
multiple of the sector size.)

Anyone know where I can report a BSD 4.1b bug? :-)

Sigh. That tops my Multics bug report.

Maybe not.  The Multics segment containing the error is marked "WRITTEN 03/26/76".  BSD4.1 is circa 1890?
