I have had a problem with zephyr which maybe you can explain;
otherwise, consider this a bug report.  It concerns not being notified
that a user listed in my .anyone file logged in.

This morning, I logged in to athena at 9:03.  I have a `znol on` in my
.login.mine, so my console window lists all the users in the .anyone
file who are logged in.  It finished at 9:04.  

"ejc" logged in at CATWOMAN.MIT.EDU at 9:08.  I received no login
notice from him.  After he wrote me a message, I realized that he was
in fact logged in, so I tried a znol again to see if he was listed;
this worked correctly.  I could zlocate him, as well as zwrite.  His
zephyr tickets were fresh.  

I'm just wondering why sometimes login messages do not appear...  This
has happened before with a different person, "tipster", as well.
Usually, I have no problem - only in isolated, non-repeatable
instances does this happen.  

Thanks,

-Chris
