I just took a look at Chad's problem, and this looks like a variation on
the Maryam problem. It is not an 8.0 problem.
For those of you who don't know the maryam problem, the symptoms are
that getting tokens for the net cell causes the dynamic loader to not
find its libraries. In Chad's case, the loader also stopped looking in
/usr/4lib for its libraries until we explicitly set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
However, there was more at work here, for even when the path was forced,
tc didn't run correctly but seg faulted and dumped core.
Furthermore, it looked to me almost like some X server caching-thing,
for I logged in remotely to my workstation (where tc ran fine) and
started up tc to display on arizona, and it crashed too. Logging in and
out fixed things.
Not worth spending a lot of time worry about, but this one has me
confused...
