What's wrong:
/usr/athena/lib/gnuemacs/lisp/paths.el contains the following:
(defvar mh-lib
(cond ((file-exists-p "/usr/new/lib/mh") "/usr/new/lib/mh/")
((file-exists-p "/usr/local/lib/mh") "/usr/local/lib/mh/")
(t "/usr/local/bin/mh/"))
"Directory of MH library")
It should read:
(defvar mh-lib
(cond ((file-exists-p "/usr/new/lib/mh") "/usr/new/lib/mh/")
((file-exists-p "/usr/new/mh/lib") "/usr/new/mh/lib")
((file-exists-p "/usr/local/lib/mh") "/usr/local/lib/mh/")
(t "/usr/local/bin/mh/"))
"Directory of MH library")

This bug was present in 6.0R. I reported it VERY near the beginning
of 6.0R. See message number 850 in bugs, dated September 7, 1988.
Over a full year ago.
If this bug was never fixed, that's very bad.
If the bug was fixed and then overwritten when a new version of
emacs was written right over the old one, that's very bad, too. Local
changes to emacs files should be kept track of and reinstalled in new
versions of emacs when necessary.
I look forward to a permanent fix to this bug in the January
release.
