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.

+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_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.
