The olc_answers program is BROKEN in 6.3B (at least in the form I'm
currently using over AFS).  See the transcript below.

The problem appears to be with this symbolic link:

	/usr/athena/lib/olc/stock -> /mit/olc-stock

Apparently, attach wants to create a directory at /usr/athena/lib/olc/stock,
rather than following the link and creating the directory at /mit/olc-stock.
