	That should be okay for the long term, but I'm concerned about
attachandrun's failure to find a binary directory via
$ATHENA_SYS_COMPAT. I couldn't get attachandrun to fail like that
without explicitly unsetting $ATHENA_SYS_COMPAT. Matt, do you have
$ATHENA_SYS_COMPAT set? If so, there's a bug in attachandrun that
needs fixing.
