	Under the 8.3 solaris machines I've used so far, ~lockername
expansion from the shell is broken:

[zacheiss@maleficent] ~> cd ~boojum
Unknown user: boojum.

	In this case, the user isn't in the password file, and the
locker isn't attached.  The problem also exists for non user
filesystems:

[zacheiss@maleficent] ~> cd ~consult
Unknown user: consult.

	both with and without the filesystem attached.
