Restore HPUX FAQ entry that talked about working around regression

script problems, because in 8.1.X, the regression test is still a
script.  Patch to 8.1.X only.

Any other error is cause for suspicion.
The parallel regression test script (gmake check) is known to lock up
on PA-RISC when run under HP's Bourne shells: /usr/bin/sh and
/sbin/sh. To fix this problem, you will need PHCO_30269 with its
dependent patch or successor patches:
PHCO_30269 s700_800 cumulative sh-posix(1) patch
PHCO_29816 s700_800 rc(1M) scripts cumulative patch
To work around this problem, use ksh to run the regression script:
gmake SHELL=/bin/ksh check
If you see that the tests have stopped making progress and only a shell
process is consuming CPU, kill the shell process and start over with the
above command.
