COPY BINARY broken on Linux/AXP

Reinhard Max (max(at)suse(dot)de) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
COPY BINARY broken on Linux/AXP

Long Description
On SuSE Linux for the Alpha(AXP) architecture 'COPY BINARY FROM'
seems not to be able to read a file that was generated by
'COPY BINARY TO' before. Therefore the regression test fails
on test 'misc'.
On our other architectures (i386, IA-64, S390) everything is fine.

I'v copied the first hunk of regression.diffs to the example code
section. There are more hunks, but they seem only to be a result of
the failed 'COPY FROM'.

Sample Code
*** ./expected/misc.out Wed Jun 27 14:35:40 2001
--- ./results/misc.out Wed Jun 27 14:37:03 2001
