Thanks Mike, you've raised an interesting question as to whether there
is an original (untainted) 1981 4.1BSD release available? I see that
the easily found distribution has modifications running into 1982.

the file references
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/bits/UCB_CSRG/4.1_BSD_19810710.zip
and that has files from Feb-1982.
The Trinity College appears to be cataloguing many interesting
software artefacts. I would be interested in some of the other items
they show on their web-page.
