Bit of digging:
1. "bs" was written at AT&T, probably
at the Labs, at some time between
the release of 32V and System III. It was part of both System III and
at least some System V releases.
And of course it is in TUHS! Remember we have 32V and SIII. For example,
look into
TUHS/Other/Distributions/Plexis_Sys3/
or
TUHS/PDP-11/Distributions/usdl/SysIII/
The sources contain 'bs' under cmd/bs
The latter one (under USDL) contains also the man page under usr/src/man/man1
(as 'bs.1').
So, there. You have it.
This leads me to consider we would greatly benefit from an expanded and
indexed TUHS repository tree. I made one on my mirror long ago, but a
series of disk crashes ended with it. Maybe, if there is interest I
could do it again.

As I pointed out in my previous post, both of these directories have
been removed from minnie, presumably because there is doubt about
the licensing status of System III. Among the listed mirrors
at http://minnie.tuhs.org/TUHS/archive_sites.html , at least
unix-archive.pdp11.org.ru still has copies.

Hm. I had it already.
*grovels through the source*
it's using a very bizarre form of longjmp()... was that the normal syntax
in sys3? it's using a struct, instead of the two parameters glibc wants.
(yeah yeah, I know, EW GNU, but I just wanted to see what I was up
against. That's the only thing spitting errors but there's a ton of

v7 wants two parameters too. This was probably some attempt at cleanup that
didn't survive.
To fork a hacker nursery rhyme:
System III! System III!
See how it runs! See how it runs!
Its longjmp() loses so totally,
It runs all its programs in 'I & D',
It's made by our fav'rite monopoly,
System III!

Yea, I got the same thing when I tried compile it under OS X. I know
HPUX has it, so I checked the man page for longjmp under HPUX, and
like OS X, it takes two parameters. So, someplace, there is a version
of the bs source that has the correct longjmp system call. But, it
may only be in the HPUX source tree. I should boot up one of my SGI's
and have a look to see if it has bs, and what version of longjmp it
uses.
