System name:		orthanc
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.0F
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	Suppress a status message.

What's wrong:
	-q did not suppress "filsys: already attached".

What should have happened:
	Attach should not print anything except error messages when
the -q flag is specified.  IMHO, the "already attached" message is not
an error message.  But if it is, then it should be printed to stderr,
not stdout, and exit status should be nonzero.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
ATTACH(1)           UNIX Programmer's Manual            ATTACH(1)

     -quiet or -q
          Don't display verbose information.  Error messages will
          still be printed.
