System name:		la-la-land
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.7M (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?
	Run tftp as part of a script to check if tether accounts have
	been enabled.

What's wrong:
	tftp dumps core if the file to be retrieved is non-existant.
	This is pretty anti-social.
	This behaviour occurs on Decstations, Suns, and SGIs.

What should have happened:
	tftp should exit with an error message and non-zero status,
	but not dump core.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	Decstation output:
