Running a comparatively obscure Andrew command under solaris 2.6, I got
the following error which killed the program:

  Fatal relocation error.

  ld.so.1 dn_skipname symbol not found

I think dn_skipname is part of the DNSresolver code.
Perhaps it moved. The problem is that we didn't really want to build
Andrew all over again for Athena 8.2.

Does somebody know some lore about this symbol, and how we could
make sure that people running EZ don't get this blow out?
