OK. There are hacked attach binaries in the "fixes" locker for
sun4x_56, sgi_62, sgi_63, and i386_linux2. They behave exactly like
the release attach except that they ignore the rsize and wsize options
in /etc/athena/attach.conf.

I'd suggest just making the .attachrc in the 11.520 locker use this
hacked attach to attach whatever lockers you need to use it for, and
not mention it to the students at all. (For things that you need to
"add", you can first attach them with the hacked attach, and then add
them with the standard add alias.)

If there are any problems with this, write back to release-team.
