System name:		air-traffic-controller
Type and version:	POWER 7.3S
Display type:		graygda

What were you trying to do?
	Get the Athena motd with `get_message -z'.

What's wrong:
	Nothing happened.  There definitely was a motd---running
	plain `get_message' gave it to me---and my zsubs were fine, I 
	zwrote myself before and after running `get_message -z'.  Just
	in case, I did

	   zwgc -f /usr/athena/lib/zephyr/zwgc.desc -subfile /dev/null

	and it still didn't work.  I'm running `get_message' from
	/usr/athena/bin.

What should have happened:
	It should've zwritten me the motd.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	get_message(1)
