System name:		all-night-tool.mit.edu
Type and version:	Ultra-60 8.4.10 (with mkserv)
Display type:		unknown

Shell:			/bin/sh
Window manager:		fvwm2

What were you trying to do?
	Run "spell".

What's wrong:
	all-night-tool{37}% echo hi | spell
	tee: /var/adm/spellhist: Permission denied
	/usr/bin/spell[92]: /var/adm/spellhist: cannot create

What should have happened:
	spell still works (its stdout is the misspelled words),
	but I wish it didn't complain about /var/adm/spellhist.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
