			This was the first research version to leave [[Bell Labs]] to the world outside AT&T. Other than adding support for the [[PDP-11/40]], the [[kernel]] does not appear to have many major functional changes from [[UNIX Fourth Edition]] (other than minor internal tweaks, e.g. limiting the number of [[process]]es that can be in an 'exec()' [[system call]] at any time).
