Ahem. The most appropriate bug report for this bug would be a one liner,
reading simply:
Stever is submitting a generic bug report.
However, that would be as useless to you as this error message was to me.
----
My goal: to logout and log in again without breaking my net connection.
My solution: to type "login stever" to my shell.
It asked for my password. So far, so good. I typed it. And got an
error. I finally had to disconnect and reconnect to get things working.
My feature request: a better error message for this case. The only
error message I've ever seen that was as uninformative to me, a
terribly naive UNIX weenie, was one I got once reading "msgchk: You lose!"
