What were you trying to do?
         See if athdir's compatibility mode still worked on Linux

What's wrong:
       It doesn't.  

how-about-a-nice-game-of-chess:~%athdir -t bin -p /mit/joeuser -l
/mit/joeuser/arch/i386_rhel4/bin
[snip]
/mit/joeuser/i386_linux1/bin
/mit/joeuser/%mbin


What should have happened:

      The last entry should be "/mit/joeuser/linuxbin".  This works fine
      on Sun:

gaston:~%athdir -t bin -l -p /mit/joeuser -m linux
/mit/joeuser/arch/sun4x_510/bin
[snip]
/mit/joeuser/sun4m_412/bin
/mit/joeuser/sun4bin

We probably don't care, if it's been broken for this long.  And this
probably means we can desupport it in Debathena.
