(found on RT and VAX 7.3)

	attach -e foo:bar

(note missing '/') causes attach to dereference a NULL pointer.  This
results in a crash on some systems, or a bad message like

	% attach -e cyrus:u4
	attach: Illegal explicit definition "cyrus:u4" for type

on other systems.

"attach -t nfs -e foo:bar" does not crash.
