Sorry to take so long; I had to leave for a meeting. Sounds like you 
mostly had it working. The substitutions where minor as you can see from 
the patch. You might have to tweak this as I don't have AIX to test on; 
in fact I'm doing this on a laptop with no compiler, so I've had to 
parse it mentally, but it should be pretty close.

Let me know if this works.

Thanks,
Randy.
