System name:		deathtongue
Type and version:	SPARC/IPX 7.7K (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Create a mountpoint w/ an invalid syntax.

	Since ``fs lsm /afs/athena'' returns:

'/afs/athena' is a symbolic link, leading to a mount point for volume '#athena.mit.edu:root.cell'

	I attempted to make a mountpoint with:

[deathtongue!jhawk] ~> fs mkm foo #athena.mit.edu:root.cell
Floating exception (core dumped)

What's wrong:
	Programs should never core dump.

What should have happened:
	It should have complained about my syntax.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	This seems to happen whenever there is a : in the volume-name
	field for fs mkm. For instance, ``fs mkm foo :'' generates
	the same error.
