No. It's happening in /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc.
It's an artifact of escaped packs; cshrc is calling machtype -S,
which is a new option to machtype. Since the 7.7L on the packs is
not the same one as you updated to, you have not brought in the
new machtype locally, so you get a usage message.
This has no detrimental effect on your environment, and will go away
as soon as 7.7M happens. (You will also see the error the first time
you run ``add'' in a window, but that also does not hurt you.)
