User logged in and found someone else's directory attach. This directory
just happened to be on the same server as her own. Her detached it but
detach flushed all mapping to that server thus preventing use of her own
directory. Detach does not normally behave like this. Possibly a screwup
with attachtab.
- Tom
Actually, this would be quite predictable from the way attach and
detach work: When the user logs in, attach is run and the server gets
a mapping (with reference count 1); when she runs detach, the
reference count drops to zero, and the mapping is deleted.
Nevertheless, this is still undesirable. I don't know if it's at all
easy to fix, though. Thanks for the report...
