I accidentally gave vos a path instead of a volume name. it dumped
core. this seems broken, to say the least. further probing shows it's
only dumping core on an O2, and only sometimes. the systems I tested
on:
System name: smoke-screen.mit.edu
Type and version: IP32 8.2.15 (with mkserv)
Display type: CRM
System name: w20-575-23.mit.edu
Type and version: Ultra-5_10 8.2.15
Display type: afb

I placed the core from the the last one in
/mit/coredumps/core.vos.sgi.seph.gz
