Yes, but the point is it still worked:
Athena 9:
athena% add consult
athena% which hes
/mit/consult/arch/i386_rhel4/bin/hes
athena% detach consult
athena% which hes
hes: Command not found.
Athena 10:
athena% add consult
athena% which hes
/mit/consult/arch/i386_rhel4/bin/hes
athena% detach consult
athena% which hes
/mit/consult/arch/i386_rhel4/bin/hes

by others. Not detatched.
