What is the state of Aldor? I downloaded it, installed it, and it
segfaults on the simplest examples from the tutorial (see below).

Other docs seem to be in disagreement with what they document, e.g.
"Simple program 3" from
http://www.aldor.org/docs/HTML/chap2.html simply doesn't compile.

All copyright notices are at least 4 years old. Is anyone maintaining
or even using Aldor? Please tell me straight.
