The error is
test: argument expected

It actually refers to the statement
if [ -x /usr/athena/bin/athdir ]
in the script /mit/olc-stock/browser. I noticed you sent this bug
report from a Decstation, which has a /bin/sh that doesn't implement the
-x test. All currently supported Athena platforms do implement this, so
I don't intend to change anything. I'd recommend logging into a
supported platform if this particular bug bothers you.
