You're probably generating a faulty link tree. Make sure you're using
synctree and copying links rather than symlinking to them.
I updated the sipb-athena README to tell people to use synctree rather
than lndir to make a discuss build tree.
This won't matter for our own internal use, but note that synctree isn't
distributable outside MIT. So if we ever want to make a new discuss
distribution for the outside world, it would be good to find another way
to create a build tree other than using synctree.
