attach's behavior with explicit NFS mounts in the case where the
specified hostname is an alias seems to have changed: on an 8.2
machine (portnoy),

        attach -n -h -e sipb-nfs:/redhat

results in

        attach: filesystem sipb-nfs:/redhat (BLOOM-PICAYUNE.MIT.EDU:/redhat) mounted on /sipb-nfs/redhat (read-write)

but on an 8.3 machine (x15-cruise-basselope), the same command yields

        attach: BLOOM-PICAYUNE.MIT.EDU:/redhat attached to /bloom-picayune/redhat for filesystem sipb-nfs:/redhat

Note that the mountpoint has changed from /sipb-nfs/redhat to
/bloom-picayune/redhat.
