Good, that is exactly the right answer. It would be nice, but
probably not essential, that this bug be fixed for 6.0R. It is
essential that it be fixed before Zephyr gets distributed outside
M.I.T. (Those interested in immediately exporting it to DEC take
note!)

I just verified that that works around my immediate problem. The one
other thing to do is try to remember that when the bug is fixed, the
release notes point out that a workaround is no longer needed.
