I normally do my attaches in a shell script, which watches the return value
of attach to detect success or failure.

This caused me to notice the following problem:

athena% attach -nomap -mountoptions soft,intr -mountpoint /esg02 -explicit esg02:/site...
esg02:/site: Timeout while contacting mount daemon on FRUMIOUS-BANDERSNATCH.MIT.EDU
athena% echo $status
0
athena%

attach should have signaled some error code here, shouldn't it?
