(RTPC) Version 6.3B: emacs not stripped

From: Jonathan I. Kamens <jik@PIT-MANAGER.MIT.EDU>
To: bugs@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
System type, version:	(RTPC) Version 6.3B
System name:		pit-manager
What's wrong:

  No wonder the RT's run so slow in 6.3B:

pit-manager% grep /mnt /usr/tmp/attachtab
A1 0+RVD bldgw20-rtusr-63b ZARQUON.MIT.EDU rtusr 18.70.0.8 1 /mnt 0 3009 0 r
pit-manager% ls -l /mnt/bin/X11/emacs
-rwxr-xr-t  1 root      1751040 Aug  9 23:33 /mnt/bin/X11/emacs*
pit-manager% file /mnt/bin/X11/emacs
/mnt/bin/X11/emacs:     demand paged pure sticky executable not stripped

And stripped:

pit-manager% ls -l /usr/local/emacs
-rwxr-xr-t  1 root       968704 Nov 30 01:39 /usr/local/emacs

Every time somebody runs emacs, 782,336 bytes of symbol table are
pulled off of the RVD before they get thrown away (or at least that's
how I think things work -- is it?).

How could we have gone a while release with an unstripped emacs on the
RT system packs?  I hope nothing like this happens in 6.4.
