What were you trying to do?
Have zwgc read its subscriptions from standard input.
A sample command line that breaks is:
athena% echo "mail,*,%me%" | zwgc -subfile - -ttymode
What's wrong:
zinit says something like:
zwgc initprog of </etc/athena/zinit> failed with status [1].
It fails to subscribe to the appropriate FILSRV instances.
Just to make sure it wasn't my weird dotfiles, I tried on a dialup
logged in as sipbtest, and the same thing happened.
What should have happened:
zinit should not barf when the subs file is on zwgc's standard
input.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The zwgc manpage says that what I'm trying to do is legal (and
_zwgc_ does DTRT).
