[Simh] What happened to IDLE?

Hello!
I grabbed the sources from GIT earlier today. And promptly built the
two I'll need. PDP11 for one, and the VAX ones for the other on a
Raspberry Pi3. I even added the options for networking that the README
wanted.

So running PDP11 I then saw this happen, and the VAX as well:
pi at raspberrypi:~ $ /home/pi/emul/simh/BIN/pdp11

PDP-11 simulator V4.0-0 Current        git commit id: 49cfac90
sim> show cpu
CPU     11/73, NOCIS, autoconfiguration enabled, idle disabled
        256KB
sim> exit
Goodbye
pi at raspberrypi:~ $ /home/pi/emul/simh/BIN/vax

MicroVAX 3900 simulator V4.0-0 Current        git commit id: 49cfac90
sim> show cpu
CPU     idle disabled, model=VAXServer 3900 (KA655), NOAUTOBOOT
        16MB, HALT to SIMH
sim> exit
Goodbye
pi at raspberrypi:~ $

It shows idle disabled. Okay how do I enable it on both? I haven't
decided on a target for them but given that networking on SIMH works
best connected to a fixed source....... Anyway I remembered that any
commentary here would need to show those first two lines.
