Hi, I was playing with ruby and noticed that the link:

/afs/sipb/project/ruby-lang/bin -> /mit/ruby-lang/arch/@sys/bin

will be dangling if the ruby-lang locker is not attached. Wouldn't it
be better to use a /afs/... path instead of a /mit/... path in such a
case?  I don't think you should need to do an "attach" before
executing an executable script in a scripting language...
