Correct. This is an assumption question, I guess.
I was under the impression that software in the release
was supposed to work absent ATHENA_SYS_COMPAT. If not, then
this isn't a bug and I'm confused. If so, then it's a minor
bug.
(I hadn't remembered ATHENA_SYS_COMPAT at the time of the bug
report, or I would have phrased things differently).
