(RTPC) Version 6.3B: attach error message

To: bugs@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
System type, version:	(RTPC) Version 6.3B
System name:		snorkelwacker
What's wrong:

I got this erroneous error message:

[{1}snorkelwacker:/]
% attach sipbsrc
sipbsrc: Couldn't attach; symlink from /u1 to /mit/sipbsrc already exists.
Exit 21              attach sipbsrc
[{1}snorkelwacker:/]
% ls -l /mit/sipbsrc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root            3 Sep 15  1988 /mit/sipbsrc -> /u1
[{1}snorkelwacker:/]
%


What should have happened:

The error message is telling me the link is in the opposite direction of
its true pointing.  It should swap /u1 and /mit/sipbsrc in the message
above.
