opus.mit.edu (in the SIPB office) failed its update to 9.4, but only
barely.  It looks like it didn't reboot, as it was left with no X and
wasn't showing tty login screens either.  /var/athena/update.log ends
with

*** The update has failed ***

But /etc/athena/version showed

Athena Workstation (linux) Version 9.3.18 Mon Apr  4 20:59:40 EDT 2005
Athena Server (linux) Version Update Mon Apr  4 21:16:55 EDT 2005
Athena Server (linux) Version 9.3.18 Mon Apr  4 21:17:40 EDT 2005
Athena Workstation (linux) Version Update Mon May 16 21:34:26 EDT 2005
Athena Workstation (linux) Version 9.3.18 Mon May 16 23:43:32 EDT 2005


Rebooting seems to have brought it up correctly (afaict), though
/etc/athena/version still doesn't show the update to 9.4.
