System name:		soup
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 7.2R
Display type:		apa16

What were you trying to do?
	detach a filesystem I had just attached explicitely
	(type AFS).

What's wrong:
	detach behaved bogusly:

% attach -m /mnt/usr/sipb -t AFS -e /afs/.athena/contrib/sipb
attach: /afs/.athena/contrib/sipb linked to /mnt/usr/sipb for filesystem /afs/.athena/contrib/sipb

% detach /mnt/usr/sipb
detach: /afs/.athena/contrib/sipb detached
/afs/.athena/contrib/sipb: Can't remove directory : Invalid argument

	Why the heck was it trying to remove
	/afs/.athena/contrib/sipb??!!!  This error message makes
	me a bit nervous.  It is correct for it to try to remove
	/mnt/usr/sipb and /mnt/usr, but not anything in the path
	being attached!

What should have happened:
	It should have left /afs/.athena/contrib/sipb alone.
