Porting stuff to Cray/Unicos is usually a bit problematic.  There's a
whole lot of quirks that you have to work out..for example, everything on
the cray uses a 64-bit data type.  a "short" in C turns out to be the same
size as an "unsigned long long", and that drives some code nuts.

Of course, I got bored one morning and ported Apache to McGuire's J90.

Sigh...the wonders of insomnia.
