Congratulations, you have found a bug in

If a core file was generated in your directory,
please run 'dbx Mosaic' (or 'dbx /path/Mosaic' if the
Mosaic executable is not in your current directory)

Question:
When I download an image with Mosaic, it fails to spawn
an external viewer (xv). The error message I get is:
sh: /afs/athena/contrib/graphics/@sys/xv: not found
How can I fix the problem?

There is no @sys link in the top level of the graphics locker, so that
it probably the problem. Mosaic on that platform probably needs to be
recompiled to have the proper link.
