You're not using the sipb locker version of gzexe. If you had been,
you wouldn't have lost. Instead, you were using the outland locker
version. Just in case it's unclear why that was a bad idea:
from /mit/outland/README:
What does this mean for you? It means that things in here are going
to be supported as well as we are able, and that we make absolutely no
guarantee that anything in this locker will work correctly, or even be
available all the time, since software may dissapear, and this locker
is not as heavily safegaurded as the sipb locker.
gzexe and gzi both will stay in the sipb locker, for this reason among
others. You may choose to use the gnu locker versions instead.
If I'm somehow confused about the problem, feel free to tell me. :-)
