This bug probably exists in the 7.6 release that users have, but has not
bitten until another bug shows it.
When the system mount table and /etc/attachtab (maintained by attach)
fall out of sync, it is possible to have a filesystem that attach thinks
is attached but really isn't.
The bug is, that when I issue the -f (force) option to force attachment
anyway, the attach STILL fails. The force option should, in fact, force
the attach, not come back with the same error and the same failure when
all that is wrong is that /etc/attachtab thinks the file system is there.
