System name:		milquetoast
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.6E (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	Follow the link /afs/athena/system/moira/bin on a sparc

What's wrong:
	/afs/athena/system/moira/bin is a symlink to .bin/@sys,
	and .bin contains a bunch of silly links such as
	pmax_ul4 -> ../pmax_ul4, etc., etc., but no sun4m_53 -> ../sun4m_53.

What should have happened:
	/afs/athena/system/moira/bin should be a symlink to @sys,
	NOT to .bin/@sys. Alternatively,
	/afs/athena/system/moira/.bin/sun4m_53 should exist, and be a symlink
	to ../sun4m_53

(No, I was not doing this on a vax; I was doing this on a Sun.
 sendbug should be able to read minds)
