There is a bug in the file
/usr/athena/lib/tex/macros/doublespace.sty
that causes the definition of \doublespace to get clobbered.
This makes the "doublespace" environment useless.
Adding "doublespace" to document style options changes the default
spacing to double-spaced. However, if the spacing is set to something
other than double, then "\begin{doublespace}...\end{doublespace}" does
absolutely nothing.
I'm surprised no one noticed this since 1989. ;)
The patch is submitted below.
I replaced the symlink in the sipb locker with a corrected version.
(It will take effect when the locker is released.)
